Disposable Lighting- with NO heat

TracLux® is the proprietary, patented light-carrier platform developed by Sunoptic Technologies to bring “light where it’s hardest to reach.” Available across a suite of surgical illumination products, it is designed to deliver brighter, more concentrated pure white light into operative fields that are deep, narrow or otherwise difficult to access.

Specifically, TracLux light carrier technology couples with fiber-optic and LED light sources to integrate light directly into retractors, clips, or other carriers—minimizing shadows, eliminating extra lighting hardware in the way of the surgeon, and enhancing visibility at depth.

Key Features & Benefits

High-Intensity, Pure White Illumination — The TracLux system is engineered for concentrated white light output, optimized for tissue color accuracy even in hard-to-illuminate fields.
Modular & Versatile Integration — The carriers (HandLite ™, LiteClip ™, CannuLite ™, etc.) plug into Sunoptic’s TracLux-optimized fiber-optic cables, and can be customized or deployed across a variety of surgical platforms and blade/retractor systems.
Ergonomic and Streamlined Workflow — By placing the light source where the surgeon is working (rather than relying solely on overhead or external illumination), TracLux reduces dependency on repositioning, avoids extra equipment in the field, and helps workflows proceed more fluidly.
Safety: Zero Heat Transfer & Minimal Shadows — Particularly in the LiteClip version, TracLux is engineered to deliver bright surgical lighting with negligible heat transfer to tissue and minimal obstruction or halo effects.
Made in the U.S.A., Designed for Surgeons — Sunoptic’s in-house manufacture of the TracLux line ensures tight quality control, clinically relevant design refinements, and OR-ready performance.

Product Line Highlights
Within the TracLux family, a few standout offerings include: HandLite™ Illuminated Retractor System – A retractor system with interchangeable stainless-steel blades and integrated TracLux carrier for bright light delivered directly into the cavity. Ideal for general surgery, orthopedics, spine, and other procedures. **LiteClip™ – The “Gold Standard in Surgical Site Illumination” – A lightweight, sterile, single-use clip that attaches to existing retractor blades, connects to fiber-optic cable and brings TracLux illumination to the surgical site without bulky attachments. Zero heat transfer.

Why It Matters to Surgeons & OR Teams In surgical environments where precision and visibility are paramount—particularly in deep cavities, minimally-invasive accesses, or narrow anatomical corridors—illumination can be the difference between optimal and sub-optimal visualization. The TracLux line addresses these challenges by:

Providing shadow-free, high-intensity light right at the working site, rather than relying solely on overhead or distant light sources.
Reducing the need for extra equipment or repositioning of lights mid-case, thereby helping preserve surgical flow and focus.
Enhancing tissue color accuracy and depth perception by delivering pure white light with minimal distortion, aiding critical decision-making.
Improving surgeon ergonomics and minimizing manual adjustments for lighting, which reduces fatigue in long procedures.
Ideal Use-Cases TracLux is especially well-suited for: Procedures with limited access or narrow fields (spine, ENT/ORL, maxillofacial, transplant corridors) Cases where retractor-mounted lighting is preferred to overhead lighting (deep cavities, complex anatomy) Hybrid ORs or minimally invasive surgeries where equipment footprint must remain minimal Facilities seeking sterilizable or single-use lighting adjuncts to simplify OR turnover and reduce cross-contamination risk.

In Summary The TracLux technology and product line from Sunoptic Technologies is a strategically engineered illumination solution built for the exacting needs of modern surgery. By combining modular light carriers, high-performance white light, ergonomic deployment, and surgeon-centric design, the TracLux family enables clearer visualization, smoother workflow, and better confidence in challenging surgical environments.
