AN EXCEPTIONAL LIGHTING EFFICIENCY
AXCEL
Unique light distribution: The newly designed optical system
creates a consistent and deep volume of light, for superior
penetration: no need to refocus with this proven diverging
technology. The resulting illumination of 100,000 Lux over
a 22 cm diameter light patch ensures a perfect tissue
visualisation in surface as well as in cavity.
Cool, comfortable lighting: AXCEL has the key advantage of
efficiently projecting useful (visible) light while eliminating the
majority of the heat component. The frosted cold dichroic
mirrors filter out more than 96 % of the IR radiation. As a result,
the 3.8 mW/m².lx radiant energy provides comfort for the
operating team and safety for the patient.
The AXCEL volume of light:
1-Optical contribution of centre port.
2-Optical contribution of external mirrors.
True color rendition. Internal tissues and organs colors range
from yellow to red. This is precisely the spectrum from which
AXCEL’s color temperature was designed to offer maximum
intensity and color definition. To achieve this performance,
AXCEL incorporates patented high tech dichroic mirrors yielding
a color temperature of 3 500 K with the highest color rendering
index (CRI) of 95. AXCEL therefore reduces color distortion and
reveals true tissue color.
Cross-shaped design causes:
Lightweight ligththead
Ease of embedding to enhance operational efficiency
Outstanding manœuvrability
Unique compliancy with laminar flow ceiling

DETAILS WHICH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
AXCEL
LEDinside ambient light: a ring of leds dedicated to minimally invasive
surgery and especially endoscopic procedures thanks to its soft illumination.
Available on AXCEL +, this technology is based on a patented « LEDinside »
technology, ensures proper lighting, improves screen vision, reduces eye
fatigue and is ideal for :
preparation before and assistance dring surgery
patient monitoring
minimally invasive surgery
Fast and easy bulb replacement: the AXCEL light bulb can be replaced quickly
and easily without tools.
A multifunctional ergonomic handle to:
control illumination levels
position the lighthead as needed
protect against inadvertent contact with walls or other surgical equipment
A clean tech light:
The AXCEL light has been designed and manufactured with smaller
environnement footprint :
Electronics consumption is reduced to a minimum with a specific
emphasis on lux efficiency: more lux with less watt.
Special care was taken to select recycling materials and smooth surfaces
facilitating cleaning procedures and minimizing detergent solutions.
AXCEL fills in with GETINGE‘s environmental policy. The overall objective is to
minimise products impact on the environment by utilising ressources efficiently
in product development, manufacturing processes and in operation.
