Abstract
Systems and methods for mounting surgical lighting to the ceiling of an operating theater can include an anchoring tube having attachment holes, and a surgical lighting suspension having internal attachment threads for receiving screws. The receiving screws may be pressure screws. The pressure screws may include a threaded body, and a tightening head which has a smaller diameter than the threaded body. The pressure screws can support and secure the surgical lighting suspension by copressive stress. Anti-loosening screws may be used to secure the pressure screws in place.
