The Science behind OT Light Heating Effect –

Light Energy consists of photons that carry radiation along with heat. When the light is focused on a narrow surgical area, the photons concentrated at that area increases significantly thereby increasing heat.

Even though LED is cool light, heating at the surgeon’s head and surgical site are the most faced challenges with modern LED OT light and the main factors causing this heating effect are –

a) Photon concentration of surgical light at surgical area.
b) Heat generated by light producing source such as LED
c) Heating contributed by reflection of light in luminary system caused due to reflectors and lenses.
