Insiders report | Review of the year for marLED® X

1. What distinguishes the marLED® X?

The focus of the development of our marLED® X was on the design, the needs of all user groups through their active involvement and product engineering. A plus point is the intuitive operation of the marLED® X in connection with our touch control panel marTouch Pro. This ensures the optimal setting of the light parameters. In addition to the ergonomic factors, technical requirements and aesthetic aspects were also taken into account in the design. Thanks to the rounded design of the body, we guarantee the least possible air turbulence and, thanks to the screw, edging and beadless design, also meet the highest hygienic requirements. The variable light field geometry together with the sterile operating options also ensure excellent illumination of the surgical field at all times.

2. Why did you choose this design?

The first impression counts and at the same time good design is a quality factor. Therefore, the topic of "design" has kept us busy throughout the entire product creation process. Our goal with the marLED® X was not only to develop an aesthetic, functional OR light but also to enable a holistic, optimal product experience. In addition to the shape and general design of the luminaire body, the requirements of the user for the device function also play a major role. We were supported by a professional design office both in the implementation of the housing concept and in the development of the operating concept of the marTouch Pro. Thanks to the good cooperation with the external partner, we have succeeded in developing a visually convincing surgical light with a closed surface and a flow-optimized housing.

We are therefore all the more pleased that our marLED® X was able to win the German Design Award in the category “Excellent Product Design - Medical, Rehabilitation and Health Care” in addition to the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award.

3. What has been your personal highlight since the marLED® X was launched?

There have been many wonderful moments for us since the development of the marLED® X. The product creation process itself is a great and exciting experience with which you can grow personally. After numerous hours of work and teamwork we are finally proud to see the finished product and how it is accepted on the market. We were particularly impressed by the trust in quality and service that our customers have shown us from the start. After the first official presentation of the marLED® X at MEDICA 2018, we received orders for the surgical light - and without a prior trial order.
