Vivo Surgical - Klaro
KLARO™ is an in vivo surgical LED lighting device for use during open surgery. It is especially effective for illuminating deep cavities where light from conventional sources cannot sufficiently reach, e.g. areas behind large organs or sites oriented at difficult angles. KLARO™ has a discreet form factor, comprising a freely-bendable 4.6mm LED light strip and a clip-like driver unit. The device maintains a working temperature below 38°C* throughout, making it safe for use in most open surgeries.
