Kenall adds KORE technology to its popular M4 Indigo-Clean EX
surgical suite lighting series, providing the enhanced lens
uniformity, and glare and contrast control so critical to the work
performed in surgical suites.
KENOSHA,
Wis., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kenall
is proud to announce the addition of KORE technology to its popular
M4 Indigo-Clean EX surgical suite luminaire featuring visible light
disinfection. The proprietary Kenall Optical Radiance Engine (KORE)
provides enhanced lens uniformity, as well as the glare and
contrast control so critical to the work performed in surgical
suites. This new optical light engine further enhances the value
proposition of the M4 Indigo-Clean EX luminaire. Indigo-Clean is a
disinfection technology that kills pathogens safely, automatically,
and continuously, and is clinically shown to reduce surgical site
infections (SSIs) by 73%.[1]
"Designed and manufactured using the M4
Indigo-Clean EX platform as its base, the optics now utilize KORE
technology's trapezoidal reflector to deliver the combination of
optical efficiency and disinfection mission critical to successful
surgical outcomes." - Karen Imberg,
Clinical Affairs Director
According to the CDC, "SSI is the costliest HAI type with an
estimated annual cost of $3.3
billion, and extends hospital length of stay by 9.7 days,
with cost of hospitalization increased by more than $20,000 per admission."[2] As such, preventing
even a single SSI pays for the cost of an Indigo-Clean operating
room installation. In addition, KORE technology delivers the
footcandles required in the O.R. while using less input power,
representing further cost and energy savings to the facility.
Keren Imberg, Kenall's Clinical
Affairs Director for Indigo-Clean, states, "We're excited to
announce the addition of KORE technology to our industry leading
Indigo-Clean EX surgical suite fixture. Designed and manufactured
using the M4 platform as its base, the optics now utilize KORE
technology's trapezoidal reflector to deliver a powerful
combination of optical efficiency and whole room disinfection; both
mission critical to successful surgical outcomes."
