The Bristol-Plus LED surgical headlight combines high-quality light output, optical flexibility, and exceptional portability, making it suitable for a wide range of clinical and surgical procedures. Its optical system produces a bright, clean field with peak brightness reaching up to 132,000 lux at a 10-inch working distance, enabling surgeons to eliminate shadows and reduce eye strain in demanding environments. At longer distances, illumination remains strong, producing approximately 40,000 lux at 16 inches. The adjustable spot mechanism allows users to refine the beam diameter from 1 to 3.5 inches at a standard working distance of 16 inches, enhancing control and tailoring the light field to tasks that require both narrow and wide optical coverage. A neutral 7,000 K color temperature supports accurate visualization of anatomical detail, providing consistent clarity throughout procedures.
Lighting control is managed through five available intensity levels, allowing clinicians to match brightness to procedural needs, patient sensitivity, or ambient room lighting. The headlight’s LED module is engineered for long-term reliability with an expected lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours, minimizing maintenance and eliminating the recurring expense of bulb replacements. Weighing only 1.2 ounces, the optical assembly is exceptionally lightweight, reducing fatigue during long cases. Its ergonomic structure allows easy mounting on glasses, face shields, or headbands, supporting comfort and adaptability throughout the operating day.
The Bristol-Plus system uses a rechargeable 3-cell battery capable of powering the headlight for up to 10 hours at full intensity, ensuring uninterrupted illumination during extended surgical sessions. With an expected life of more than 300 charge cycles, the battery offers dependable long-term performance, and its 6.5-ounce weight maintains portability without sacrificing capacity. The complete system includes the Bristol-Plus headlight, user-selectable Fiji or Key West headbands or an optic clip, as well as a charging cradle, power supply, holster, and linkage kit.
This headlight is well suited for use across numerous specialties, including ENT, general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, spine procedures, thoracic and vascular surgery, transplant operations, plastic surgery, dental care, examinations, and oral or maxillofacial applications. Across all these fields, the Bristol-Plus supports clinicians with bright, adjustable, and stable optical performance, intuitive lighting control, long battery endurance, and exceptional comfort during routine and complex procedures alike.
