Abstract
A folding surgical light handle is made from an inexpensive light weight material and can be made as a single part including a handle body with a grip portion, a flange, and an integral connecting member which links the handle body and flange together through a pair of hinged connections. The hinged connecting member enables the light handle to be folded for convenient storage and to be quickly unfolded when the light handle is needed. A threaded head integral to the flange portion provides a way for the light handle to be installed on a surgical light fixture.
