20100030033 | SURGICAL LIGHT APPARATUS - A surgical light apparatus for illuminating a surgical site. The light apparatus may include a light housing, fiber optical cable, a sheath, and a cable connector. The fiber optical cable may be comprised of a bundle of fiber optical cables that have distal and proximate ends. The proximate end may be operably connected to the cable connector, and oriented to receive light emitted from a light source. The distal end of the fiber optical cable may be operably connected to the light housing. The light housing may include a main body and a cover, which either individually, or in combination with each other, provides an outlet at which the distal ends of the fiber optical cables may be dispersed. The light housing may include, or be operably connected to, an attachment mechanism that may attach the surgical light apparatus to a surgical instrument, for example a retractor blade. | 02-04-2010 |
