By HospiMedica International staff writers Posted on 29 Jan 2024 |

Merivaara (Lahti, Finland) is participating at the Arab Health 2024 Exhibition & Congress where it is launching advanced medical lights help to speed up post-COVID medical care.
The repercussions of COVID-19 are still apparent in the health sector worldwide, as a vast number of medical operations were canceled or delayed because of the pandemic. Designed and manufactured in Finland, Merivaara’s medical lights are in high demand worldwide as medical professionals strive to shorten post-COVID waiting lists. Merivaara has now added two new medical lights, Q-Flow 1 examination light and Q-Flow 2 minor surgical light, to its award-winning Q-Flow surgical light product family. The new lights are well-suited for use in various healthcare environments, from patient and procedure rooms to intensive care. The Q-Flow 1 examination light and Q-Flow 2 minor surgical light are particularly suitable for treatment, examinations, and small operations outside the operating theatre.
The new lights provide unparalleled lighting solutions to medical professionals globally. The research lights have outstanding color rendering properties since they utilize the same technology as Merivaara’s larger surgical Q-Flow lights. Q-Flow lights can easily be connected to stems optimized for different procedures, improving ergonomics for healthcare staff. Single-hand usability enhances patient safety by allowing users to keep one hand clean during treatment procedures. In addition to the new lights, Merivaara is also showcasing an array of products, including the multifunctional 4050X gynecological examination table, and Scandia Prime- & Smarter Practico operating tables. Merivaara is offering a live demonstration of the groundbreaking Lojer Manuthera 242, the most versatile treatment table globally that has positively impacted thousands of patients.
“We discussed the needs and wishes of healthcare professionals during the design phase, so our new compact lights respond well to market needs,” said Merivaara’s Product Development Director Jyrki Nieminen. “Intuitive usability combined with easy cleaning and maintenance are part of Merivaara’s design principles. We believe the new research lights can be truly valuable in the everyday medical work.”
