Natick, Mass. – September 07, 2006 – Sunnex, a leading designer and manufacturer of medical lighting, has announced the availability of a detailed brochure highlighting its unique line of MRI-compatible lighting solutions including the Celestial Star™ MRI surgical light and the PF MRI examination light.

Sunnex is the only manufacturer with a line of MRI-compatible lights certified for both surgical and examination use. Sunnex’s MRI lights are also certified by both GE and Siemens for use with their MRI equipment.

Constructed with a unique combination of nonmagnetic materials, the Celestial Star MRI surgical light and the PF MRI examination light are unaffected by the magnetism associated with MRI procedures, making them ideal for use in any MRI facility - including imaging centers, radiology departments, and CAT/PET scan labs.

The new brochure offers detailed product overviews and images of Sunnex’s MRI-compatible product line: the Celestial Star surgical light and the PF MRI examination light.

The Celestial Star is lightweight and compact in design, and available in both ceiling-mounted and mobile versions. Its articulating arm provides more than 10 feet of head-to-toe horizontal coverage.
