Pathy Medical produces high quality surgical illumination devices with the strategic goal of achieving greater surgical visualizations, lower costs, and easier to use alternatives to traditional forms of current surgical illumination. By focusing on products which are simple yet modern, Pathy Medical aims to change the mindset and improve the effectiveness of the surgeon and the facility.
The Company’s initial device on the market is the Light Jacket, a small, disposable device that slides onto the end of an electrocautery pencil. With its simple but sleek design, the Light Jacket provides bright, cordless, immediate, surgeon-directed light precisely where the surgeon is operating. No setup is required, unlike competitive illumination devices. Minimal heat is emitted and the directionality of the light is not reliant on an assistant. Using its patented technology, the Light Jacket can ease stress on the surgeon.
Surgeons have been operating with the same lighting tools for decades. Pathy Medical and its brighter innovation is finally here!
Pathy Medical products are engineered and manufactured in the USA.
