What is Operating Theatre Lighting?

Lighting for operating theatres and recovery areas needs to provide excellent, accurate illumination to make operating easier while also allowing for a calming transition to recovery areas.  As areas with high infection risk, hygiene is a key consideration in specifying the correct system that aids staff while prioritising patient comfort and wellbeing.

Whitecroft Lighting offer a range of lighting systems for theatre areas include options that are >Ra90 colour rendering.  Careful optical design  means that operating staff have better visibility during procedures and optimised brightness to reduce fatigue and eye strain while aiding concentration.

Adjustable illumination is part of the standard in recovery areas to improve patient wellbeing and minimise stress during post-operative periods, and as with all lighting for important healthcare areas, features glass optics that are designed to be resistant to the rigours of the cleaning regimes.
