Introducing KLARO™

KLARO™ is a highly versatile in vivo surgical lighting device that solves the challenges posed by current conventional lighting modalities.

Developed together with leading oncological surgeons in one of the world’s top health systems, KLARO™ brings optimal illumination to deep and narrow surgical cavities where illumination was previously inadequate. 

KLARO™ is registered and approved in several international territories including the US FDA, European Union’s (EU) CE Mark and Singapore’s Health Science Authority (HSA).

KLARO™ is made in Singapore and meets international safety standards.

Why KLARO™

KLARO™ was invented to overcome the current state of surgical lighting challenges in operating theatres.

KLARO is a light device that shows the way during surgery invented by Associate Professor Tan Ngian Chye, a senior consultant at the National Cancer Centre Singapore

64% of surgeries are disrupted by frequent light repositioning [1]

KLARO overcomes issues from LED surgical headlights such as the Integra DUO LED surgical headlight, Enova illumination, Enova loupes, Novae wireless cordless headlight and Welch Allyn Portable LED Headlamp as it a cordless portable solution.

68% of surgeons who are high frequency headgear users experience aggravation of neck symptoms [2]

As a cordless battery operated portable LED light, KLARO is superior to surgical headlights such as MedLED from Steris and Sunoptic surgical headlight.

88% of surgeons find it difficult to illuminate deep surgical cavities [1]

Better Ergonomics 

due to improved surgeon posture

KLARO delivers bright white LED light in open surgeries similar to the brightest LED cordless surgical headlights.

Adaptable Illumination

within surgical cavities

Unlike overhead operating room lights, KLARO is sterile and helps to reduce risk of surgical site infections. Refer to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26312471/

Reduces SSI* Risks

due to surgical site contamination

*Surgical Site Infection

KLARO does not need fiberoptic light cables unlike headlights such as Integra® Surgical Headlight and Sunoptic Surgical LED headlight , Xenon light sources and Xenon lamps which can heat up to unsafe temperatures.

Eliminates Burn Risks

from both patients and surgical team

KLARO is suitable for lighting minimally invasive surgeries by allowing smaller incisions, without the need for surgical headlights. Refer to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17328649/

Smaller Incisions

without compromising on visualisation and during surgery
