Abstract
Medical professionals such as doctors, nurses and paramedics often use headlight to examine or to perform surgical intervention in the patients. However, there are concerns related to its use such as comfort for the user, mobility and asepsis for the cable, availability, and cost effectiveness. The concept of a retrofitted 1-watt sports headlight (adjusted on magnifying loupes) would give quick access to a light source, be available and reliable at any place, save vital funds and would be environmentally friendly as the battery can be replaced. The same concept can be applied to pre-hospital emergency care and disaster medicine as well.
