Dräger awarded Veterans Health Administration (VHA) contract for surgical lighting

Dräger has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under the Non-Expendable (NX) Equipment Program. This agreement covers surgical lighting and equipment boom systems to support operating room (OR) and other environments within VA medical facilities, making them available to order via VHA's National Equipment Catalog (NEC).

The award of this NX contract reflects Dräger's commitment to delivering innovative, reliable solutions that can support clinical effectiveness and long-term value. Dräger's Polaris surgical lighting systems are designed to help enhance surgical precision, improve workflow efficiency, and focus on patient safety—all while supporting efforts to manage operational costs.
