MEDLamp was founded by Jason and his wife Lindsay (the veterinarian). They operate a mobile veterinary practice in a remote area of California. Working together on emergency calls often in the middle of the night has its challenges, especially when it comes to lighting. Jason noticed that standard headlamps simply could not be adjusted to put light where it needs to be in the medical field. After some amount of research, Jason found other companies that had developed headlamps for medical specific uses, but the price points were astronomical. In addition, the designs were not rugged enough for field use. Being the inventive type and having a lab of his own, he set off to make an adapter for relatively inexpensive headlamps that would provide the adjustment needed for medical procedures. After some trial and error, MEDLamp was born. The affordable alternative for medical illumination. MEDLamp has been extensively tested in the Veterinary medical field and found to be applicable to many procedures and techniques. However; any field requiring illumination on target for manipulation by the hands could benefit from MEDLamp. The MEDLamp adapter provides the adjustment needed to put light where you want it. Some applications may be: Human Medicine Mechanical Fields Electrical Engineering Maintenance Orthodontist Hobbyist Home Use And more… The MEDLamp adapter was designed in 3D drafting software and printed on a 3D printer in our development lab. Several MEDLamp versions were produced and subsequently tested in the Veterinary environment for effectiveness in the field. Each test resulted in improvements to the design. The flexibility of on-site manufacturing allows us to continually improve the product. We replace all of the mounting hardware with 18-8 stainless machines screws and 18-8 stainless nylon lock nuts. We also utilize 18-8 black oxide stainless steel washers. The hardware provided with the original headlamp is cheap zinc coated machine screws several sizes too small. The MEDLamp Headlamp and adapter features several improvements over standard headlamp designs. The MEDLamp designed adapter provides the user with two points of adjustment, increasing flexibility and usefulness of the light. This process is accomplished by creating an adapter that moves the LED away from the forehead, where it can be positioned to emit light forward from just above the bridge of the nose (optimal light position for most forward facing medical procedures). It can also be positioned up and away from the forehead facing directly down. This is excellent for working close to the body without blinding yourself with light from a headlamp with no outward adjustment. Typical headlamps only allow for 90° of adjustment, and are further restricted by the shape of the LED housing on where light can be pointed. MEDLamp allows for many different light angles by providing two points of adjustment. The design is such that the adapter allows the LED housing to have a wider range of adjustment through freedom of motion. The rechargeable battery back can be used as an emergency power source for a cellular phone. It can be charged from any USB source or 110Volt outlet. The battery pack being on the rear of the head acts as a counter balance to the extended MEDLamp light position, providing a comfortable wear at all times. The headlamp utilizes a CREE XM-L2 LED, for plenty of brightness and power efficiency. The lens on the LED can be focused from an extremely wide beam pattern to a very small pencil beam.
