Bovie Medical to Distribute Next Generation of Medical Lighting

Bovie Medical Corporation, a manufacturer and marketer of electrosurgical products, has entered into an exclusive agreement with Medical Illumination International, Inc. San Fernando, CA to bring a new generation of medical lighting to the medical community in the United States. This line of LED lights features a 4300 degree Kelvin white light which uses half the electricity and produces a small fraction of the heating intensity of the old standard halogen lighting. The LED lights include an extended life of 50,000 hours which is approximately twenty-five times longer than halogen lighting.

The agreement also includes Bovie exclusively distributing Medical Illumination's non-LED medical lights as well as any new LED lights under development.
