A Laparoscopic Light Source is required in the Surgical Suite flight to replace their previous version of the product which has met its life expectancy. It is no longer serviceable and products will be decommissioned. Without the Laparoscopic Light Source product all laparoscopic cases including emergency cases will be need to be sent downtown.

The Laparoscopic Light Source manufactured by Stryker is the only light source compatible with the current Laparoscopic Tower that we have in our facility. No other laparoscopic light source will work or is viable with the current system we have due to the tower, light cables and accessories all being manufactured by Stryker.
