Some procedures, such as hip pinnings, require
both lightheads to be on the same side of the table.
See figure 12. In this position the lightheads are
behind and adjusted to project light over the head
and shoulders of the surgeon. Both lightheads
are easily reached for adjustment by non-sterile
personnel.
Perineum
The large diameter lighthead should be positioned
at the end of the table for perineal procedures. Lo-
cate the radial arm directly in line with the centerline
of the table. Once the surgeon has assumed a
seated position, the lighthead can be pulled down,
angled, and adjusted to provide the necessary il-
lumination over the surgeon’s head and shoulders.
See figure 13. The satellite lighthead radial arm
shouldbepositionedapproximately90°fromthe
other radial arm. Position the satellite lighthead to
the right or left of the large lighthead according
to surgeon preference. In this position, the focus
knobs of both lightheads are located for easy reach
by non-sterile personnel.
