Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Operationsleuchte zum Einsatz bei endoskopischen Operationen mit einem die Operationsleuchte an einer Raumdecke, einer Wand oder einem Stativ verstellbar haltenden Tragarmsystem nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a surgical light for use in endoscopic operations with a surgical light on a ceiling, a wall or a tripod adjustable holding support arm according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei endoskopischen Operationen wird der Patient in der Regel unter einer konventionellen Operationsleuchte vorbereitet. So bleibt beispielsweise während dem Einführen der Trokare bzw. bei den anderen vorbereitenden Handlungen üblicherweise das Raumlicht sowie die Operationsleuchte eingeschaltet.For endoscopic surgery, the patient is usually prepared under a conventional surgical light. Thus, for example, during the introduction of the trocars or during the other preparatory actions, the room light and the operating light usually remain switched on.

Sobald der endoskopische Eingriff beginnt, wird der Raum verdunkelt, um die Ablesbarkeit und den Kontrast auf den Monitoren und den Endoskopoptiken zu verbessern. Der Raum wird jedoch nicht vollständig abgedunkelt. Vielmehr ist eine gewisse Restbeleuchtung im Raum erforderlich, um das Instrumentarium oder andere Gerätschaften zu sehen oder zu bedienen. Während des endoskopischen Eingriffs wird also die Operationsleuchte ausgeschaltet und zur Erzeugung der Restbeleuchtung wird das Raumlicht gedimmt oder soweit dieses auch ausgeschaltet wird, werden eventuell Hilfsleuchten, das heißt zusätzliche Strahler, die im Operationsraum vorzusehen sind, eingeschaltet.Once the endoscopic procedure begins, the room is darkened to improve readability and contrast on the monitors and endoscope optics. However, the room is not completely darkened. Rather, a certain residual lighting in the room is required to see or operate the instruments or other equipment. During the endoscopic procedure, therefore, the operating light is switched off and the room light is dimmed or to the extent that this is switched off to generate the residual light is, are possibly auxiliary lights, that is, additional radiator, which are to be provided in the operating room, turned on.

Bei der vorbeschriebenen üblichen Konstellation ergibt sich der Nachteil, dass das Raumlicht Spiegelungen auf den Monitoren erzeugt. Zusätzlich angebrachte Hilfslampen am Instrumententisch oder an anderer Stelle sind zwar bereits derart eingerichtet, dass sie ein indirektes und damit angenehmes Licht erzeugen. Sie sind aber hinderlich, weil sie als weiteres Gerät im Bereich des Instrumententisches angeordnet sind und eine zusätzliche Stormversorgung benötigen.With the above-described conventional constellation, there is the disadvantage that the room light generates reflections on the monitors. Additionally mounted auxiliary lamps on the instrument table or elsewhere are already set up in such a way that they produce an indirect and thus pleasant light. But they are a hindrance because they are arranged as another device in the area of the instrument table and need an additional power supply.

Aus der DE 93 17 671 U1 ist es bereits bekannt geworden, eine Operationsleuchte zur Verwendung bei medizinischen Operationen mit Endoskopen bereitzustellen, bei denen neben der Hauptlichtquelle besondere Zusatzlampen am oder im Leuchtengehäuse selber vorgesehen sind. Diese Zusatzlampen erzeugen Lichtbündel, die vom Operationsfeld weg weisen. Beim Betrieb weist diese Ausführungsvariante den Nachteil auf, dass die Lichtbündel dieser zusätzlichen im Gehäuse der Operationsleuchte integrierten Leuchte je nach Stellung der Operationsleuchte in eine beliebige Raumrichtung weisen. Diese feste Kopplung der Ausrichtung der Beleuchtung der Operationsleuchte und der zusätzlichen Leuchten führt nun dazu, dass der gewünschte Effekt eines indirekten Lichtes nur zufällig dann erfüllt ist, wenn die Operationsleuchte parallel oder im wesentlichen parallel zu der Raumdecke ausgerichtet ist. In allen anderen Stellungen, die die Operationsleuchte beim Betrieb einnimmt, besteht die Gefahr des Blendens durch die entsprechenden Lichtbündel der Zusatzlampen.From the DE 93 17 671 U1 It is already known to provide an operating light for use in medical operations with endoscopes, which are provided in addition to the main light source special extra lamps on or in the lamp housing itself. These auxiliary lamps produce light bundles pointing away from the surgical field. During operation, this embodiment variant has the disadvantage that the light bundles of this additional light integrated in the housing of the operating light have, depending on the position of the operating light, in any spatial direction. This fixed coupling of the alignment of the lighting of the operating light and the additional lights now leads to the fact that the desired effect of an indirect light is only coincidentally fulfilled when the operating light is aligned parallel or substantially parallel to the ceiling. In all other positions that the operating light occupies during operation, there is a risk of dazzling by the corresponding light beams of the additional lamps.

Aus der WO 99/50591 ist ebenfalls eine Operationsleuchte zur Verwendung bei medizinischen Operationen bekannt, bei der neben der Hauptlichtquelle ebenfalls eine Zusatzlampe vorhanden ist. Die Zusatzlampe ist hier unmittelbar an den Bügel angeordnet, an dessen freien Enden das Gehäuse der Hauptlichtquelle schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Auch hier besteht die Gefahr des Blendens des Operateurs, wenn dieser Bügel entsprechend bei Verstellen der Hauptlichtquelle verschwenkt wird.From the WO 99/50591 Also, a surgical light for use in medical operations is known in which in addition to the main light source also an auxiliary lamp is present. The additional lamp is here arranged directly on the bracket, at the free ends of the housing of the main light source is pivotally mounted. Again, there is a risk of dazzling the surgeon, if this bracket is pivoted accordingly when adjusting the main light source.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher eine Operationsleuchte zu schaffen, die während eines endoskopischen Eingriffs eine Beleuchtung ermöglicht, die platzsparend angeordnet, einfach handhabbar und ohne Störeinflüsse für den Operateur ausgebildet ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a surgical light that allows illumination during an endoscopic procedure, which is arranged to save space, easy to handle and is designed without interference for the surgeon.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Kombination der Merkmale nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Dabei ist die mindestens eine Leuchte am Ende des ersten Auslegers des Tragarmsystems angeordnet und/oder sie ist am Federarm des Tragarmsystems angeordnet. Durch die Integration dieser zusätzlichen Leuchte oder dieser Hilfsleuchte an dieser entsprechenden Stelle in das Tragarmsystem der Operationsleuchte wird vorteilhaft sichergestellt, dass die Hilfsbeleuchtung der Decke oder der Wand zugewandt ist, so dass hier das Erzeugen eines indirekten Lichtes sichergestellt ist. Die zusätzliche Leuchte ist automatisch in einer vergleichsweise hohen Raumhöhe angeordnet, so dass keine unmittelbare Blendung des Operationspersonals möglich ist. Hier ist zu berücksichtigen, dass in einem abgedunkelten Raum schon schwache direkte Lichtquellen stark blendend auf die geöffnete Pupille des Betrachtes wirken würden. Zusätzlich behindern keine zusätzlichen Kabel den Operationsraum oder gar den Operationsbereich. Schließlich sind keine zusätzlichen Investitionskosten für zu installierende getrennte OP-Hilfsleuchten notwendig.According to the invention this object is achieved by the combination of the features of claim 1. In this case, the at least one lamp is arranged at the end of the first arm of the Tragarmsystems and / or it is arranged on the spring arm of the Tragarmsystems. By integrating this additional light or auxiliary light at this appropriate location in the Tragarmsystem the surgical light is advantageously ensured that the auxiliary lighting of the ceiling or the wall is facing, so that here the generation of an indirect light is ensured. The additional lamp is automatically arranged in a comparatively high room height, so that no direct glare of the operating staff is possible. It should be noted that in a darkened room, even weak direct light sources would have a strong dazzling effect on the open pupil of the view. In addition, no additional cables hinder the operating room or even the operating area. Finally, no additional investment costs for separate surgical auxiliary lights to be installed are necessary.

Besondere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den sich an den Hauptanspruch anschließenden Unteransprüchen.Particular embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the subsequent claims to the main claim.

Demnach kann die mindestens eine im Tragarmsystem angeordnete zusätzliche Leuchte der Raumdecke und/oder einer Wand zugewandt sein.Accordingly, the at least one additional light arranged in the support arm system can face the ceiling and / or a wall.

Hierdurch wird eine indirekte Beleuchtung erzeugt, die ein ideales Endoskopielicht zur Verfügung stellt.As a result, an indirect illumination is generated, which provides an ideal Endoskopielicht.

Die mindestens eine zusätzliche Leuchte kann von der zentralen Stromversorgung der Operationsleuchte mitversorgt werden. Das bedeutet, dass die mindestens eine zusätzliche Leuchte ab dem Einschalten der Stromversorgung über den Hauptschalter der Operationsleuchte brennt. Hierdurch entfällt eine aufwendige zusätzliche Stromversorgung mit eigener Verdrahtung des Hilfslichts. Auch die ansonsten üblichen Schalteinrichtungen bzw. Schaltungslogiken können entfallen. Im Betrieb leuchtet das zusätzliche Licht immer wenn die Hauptstromversorgung der Operationsleuchte eingeschaltet ist. Beim Endoskopieeinsatz wird dann der Operations-Leuchtenkörper ausgeschaltet, das heißt auf Standby geschaltet, während das Hilfslicht weiter leuchtet.The at least one additional light can be supplied by the central power supply of the operating light. This means that the at least one additional light will be on via the main switch of the operating light when switching on the power supply. This eliminates a costly additional power supply with its own wiring of the auxiliary light. Even the otherwise common switching devices or circuit logic can be omitted. During operation, the additional light illuminates whenever the main power supply of the operating light is switched on. When endoscopy is then the operating lamp body is turned off, that is switched to standby while the auxiliary light remains lit.

Die mindestens eine zusätzliche Leuchte kann als Leuchtmittel eine Entladungslampe, Halogenlampe, Glühlampe, Glimmlampe, Neonlampe und/oder eine oder mehrere Licht emmitierende Dioden - (LED) - oder ein anderes Licht emittierendes Element umfassen.The at least one additional luminaire may comprise a discharge lamp, halogen lamp, incandescent lamp, neon lamp, neon lamp and / or one or more light-emitting diodes - (LED) - or another light-emitting element as the lighting means.

Vorteilhaft kann eine zusätzliche Leuchte unterhalb des Zentrallagers des Tragarmsystems angeordnet sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die zusätzliche Leuchte am ersten Ausleger des Tragarmsystems angeordnet sein. Weiterhin kann eine zusätzliche Leuchte auch im Bereich der kardanischen Aufhängung der Operationsleuchte integriert sein.Advantageously, an additional light can be arranged below the central warehouse of Tragarmsystems. Alternatively or additionally, the additional light can be arranged on the first arm of the Tragarmsystems. Furthermore, an additional light can also be integrated in the gimbal of the surgical light.

Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten und Vorteil der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, die an Hand der einzigen Figur dargestellt ist. Die Figur zeigt eine schematische Ansicht einer Operationsleuchte mit Tragarmsystem.Further features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated with reference to the single figure. The figure shows a schematic view of a surgical light with Tragarmsystem.

Am Ende des Auslegers 20 ist wiederum um 360° verschwenkbar eine senkrecht zum ersten Ausleger 22 ausgerichtete Stange 24 angelenkt. Am freien Ende der Stange 24 ist ein Schwenklager 26 zum Verschwenken eines Federarmes 28 angeordnet. Am freien Ende des Federarms 28 ist ein weiteres Schwenklager 30 vorgesehen, welches zusätzlich mit dem Aufhängearm 32 für die Operationsleuchte verbunden ist. Der Aufhängearm 32 ist über eine kardanische Aufhängung 34 mit der Operationsleuchte verbunden.The surgical lamp 10 is of conventional design. The support arm 12 has in the embodiment shown here an outgoing from the ceiling mount 16 perpendicular to the ceiling 14 oriented rod 18 on which a central bearing 20, a first arm 22, which is aligned substantially parallel to the ceiling 14, is pivotable through 360 °. At the end of the boom 20 in turn is pivotable about 360 ° pivotally oriented perpendicular to the first boom 22 rod 24. At the free end of the rod 24, a pivot bearing 26 is arranged for pivoting a spring arm 28. At the free end of the spring arm 28, a further pivot bearing 30 is provided, which is additionally connected to the Aufhängearm 32 for the operating light. The suspension arm 32 is connected via a gimbal 34 with the operating light.

In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsvariante sind verschiedene zusätzliche Leuchten 36, 38, 40, 42 und 44 an unterschiedlichen Stellen des Tragarmsystems vorgesehen.In the embodiment shown here, various additional lights 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 are provided at different locations of the Tragarmsystems.

Selbstverständlich müssen nicht alle zusätzlichen Leuchten im Rahmen der Erfindung verwirklicht werden.

Eine erste zusätzliche Leuchte 36 ist unterhalb des Zentrallagers 20 vorgesehen. Eine zweite zusätzliche Leuchte ist auf dem ersten Ausleger 22 angeordnet, während eine zusätzliche Leuchte 40 am Ende des Auslegers 22 integriert ist.Of course, not all additional lights must be realized within the scope of the invention. In the context of the invention, only one or a combination of the additional lights shown here can be realized. A first additional lamp 36 is provided below the central warehouse 20. A second additional luminaire is arranged on the first arm 22, while an additional luminaire 40 is integrated at the end of the arm 22.

Ein zusätzliche Leuchte 42 ist am Federarm 28 und eine zusätzliche Leuchte 44 ist im Bereich der kardanischen Aufhängung der Operationsleuchte 10 angeordnet. Sämtlichen zusätzlichen Leuchten 36, 38, 40, 42 und 44 ist es gemein, dass ihre Lichtbündel a in Richtung der Raumdecke 14 ausgerichtet sind und somit in idealer Raumhöhe ein indirektes Licht erzeugen.An additional lamp 42 is on the spring arm 28 and an additional light 44 is disposed in the region of the gimbal of the operating light 10. It is common to all the additional lamps 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 that their light bundles a are aligned in the direction of the ceiling 14 and thus produce an indirect light at ideal room height.
