When stepping inside the factory in Ardon, France, which is the home of Getinge’s surgical lights, you can immediately feel the excitement in the air. A new product is in the making here in a brand new assembly line. 

Every year, millions of people are affected by health care associated infections (HCAI). But there are ways to fight it by minimizing risks of cross-contamination in the operating rooms (ORs). With the new surgical light Maquet PowerLED II, Getinge has added an antibacterial coating to help prevent the spread of infections.
