The koplight™ cordless surgical retractor emits light using a battery-operated LED. Originating from the home of modern white LED technology, the koplight™ LED is optimized for peak efficiency in surgery, designed with uncompromising Japanese technology and craftsmanship.
The resilient, clear plastic (polycarbonate) blades are nonconductive and easily exchanged to suit a wide range of surgical needs. The standard blade gives direct lighting, while the HT blade radiates light from the elbow and tip.
This lightweight, strong, and very bright (40,000+ lux) medical device helps surgeons work with greater precision and efficiency. It’s maneuverable and versatile in breast surgery, plastic surgery and more (see below).

The koplight™ retractor lights your way, with the flexibility and convenience of a durable, medical-grade plastic body and components.
With reference to IEC 60601-2-411, koplight™ emits 40,000 to 160,000 lux illumination2 from the light emission points to adapt flexibly to surgeons’ needs.
The koplight™ is equipped with high-end Japanese LED lighting. Together with its sleek optical design, koplight™ dependably and brightly illuminates the operative field.
The koplight™ light handle can be loaded with large-capacity NiMH batteries to provide lighting you can rely on for common surgical procedures.
1A standard by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). “Medical electrical equipment – Part 2-41: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of surgical luminaires and luminaires for diagnosis”
2Reference value only. The illuminance measurement method differs from that of IEC 60601-2-41, as the conditions differ from traditional overhead surgical lamps.
The koplight™ light retractor only weighs 100-150 g, including its 2 AAA batteries. This reduces hand fatigue for surgeons, as it's 2–3 times lighter than typical metal retractors.
The transparent blade is made of polycarbonate, a material used in bulletproof glass. This naturally transparent and nonconductive plastic makes the koplight™ blade virtually unbreakable under normal operating conditions. As transparency ensures visibility, the round edges ensure less traumatic procedures.
With the lightweight and ergonomic design and aluminum handle, it's easy for surgeons to continually grasp, maneuver, and reposition.
The koplight™ cordless lighted retractor is a combination of a plastic blade and an aluminum light handle. The blade is switchable even during surgical procedures.
koplight™ blades are provided sterilized and single-use1 giving doctors both convenience and a way to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
koplight™ light handle is reusable for years, following instructions for reprocessing/sterilization.2 It can reduce medical waste and contribute to cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness
