General surgery covers a wide range of operations, including those on the abdomen, thyroid and mammary glands. These operations require optimal visibility in depth and uniform distribution of light.
General surgery operates on all the organs of the abdominal cavity, the breast and the thyroid. Given the parts involved, professional medical lights are needed that can fully illuminate the cavities present without interfering with the operations of the doctor and his staff or the patient. During general surgery operations, it is likely that an arm or instrument will be placed between the light source and the body being operated on. Furthermore, if the temperature released by the lamp is not compliant, it can cause tissue dryness. Avoiding the formation of shadows, avoiding overlaps or reflections, and ensuring the correct temperature of the light beam is essential.
RIMSA medical lamps not only provide precise and flawless illumination and meet all the requirements of the operating room. The credit for this result is given by the exclusive anti-glare technology of RIMSA lamps which allows the light beam to remain constantly precise and clear, guaranteeing optimal visual conditions.

Lighting Recommendations
General surgery benefits from two lightheads with large diameters to cover the entire surgical field. Shadow suppression technology is critical to maintaining clear visibility. Additionally, lights should feature low color temperatures (e.g., 3900K) to avoid tissue desiccation and enhance contrast in high-blood scenarios. Flexible positioning ensures the surgeon has unobstructed light access without interfering with instruments.
This is why our medical lamps are called scialytic, a term that means “without shadows”. The special LED technology also guarantees a constant temperature, ideal for maintaining the hydration status of the tissues.
The efficiency of our technology is guaranteed by the data received from operating rooms and hospital facilities: where RIMSA scialytic lamps have been adopted, the number of errors during operations is drastically reduced.
For general surgery we suggest these combinations:
- Unica 520+Unica 520
- Unica 860+Unica 520
- U29+U29
- Pentaled 63N+Pentaled 63N
- Pentaled 63N+Pentaled 30N
