Invuity’s Structure Guided Illumination™ technology integrates customized lighting solutions into conventional instruments for unparalleled visualization.

Current Lighting Solutions
Microscopes, headlamps and fiber optic accessory products are standard illumination options utilized in the operating room. The light from these devices originates above the operative space, increasing shadowing and back reflection during surgery.

Structure Guided Illumination Technology
Invuity’s proprietary technology platform utilizes unique optical structures, designed into the profile of existing instruments, to control light output to a targeted operative space. These features direct light from multiple angles, reducing back reflection and shadowing during surgery. By eliminating the constraints associated with current lighting solutions, Invuity BriteField™ retractor systems achieve unparalleled visualization.

Advantages of Structure Guided Illumination Technology

	Shadowless: Uniquely engineered optical structures incorporated into each device provide illumination from multiple angles, virtually eliminating shadows in the surgical workspace.
	Reduced Heat: Efficient management of light across a broad output surface minimizes thermal effects compared to current lighting solutions.
	Minimal Footprint: Lighting is integrated into current instrument designs, improving visual access with no disruption to established surgical techniques.
Reduced Glare: The ability to produce uniform, directed illumination minimizes back reflection from instruments and glare from the operative space, key factors contributing to surgical eye strain.
Ergonomics:By eliminating the need for headlamps or microscope readjustments, BriteField™ instruments increase the surgeon’s freedom to operate without fatigue.
