Coloured Fibre Optic Cables

Use of the highest grade fibre-optics and components assure that each cable offers optimal performance. Each cable is high temperature xenon compatible, rated to the highest level of thermal resistance and tested to assure the highest light output possible.

Coloured Cables
Full range of colours are available. Allowing the each cable to be traced:

• traced departmentally
• traced per bundle diameter

Crush Resistant cables
Prima Medical's unique crush resistant fibre optic cable has stainless steel armouring along the entirety of the cable, preventing damage to the glass fibres , prolonging the life of the product.

Selection of fibre light cables
Each optic coupling point (connection) means a loss of approximately 20% of transmitted light. This loss is converted into heat, which may cause damage to the Endoscope and light cable if the loss is too high.

To minimise the risk of overheating the contact areas, the correct selection of bundle diameter of the fibre light cable is of great importance

To obtain optimum light transmission, the diameter of the fibre core on the telescope has to be equal to that of the light cable. If the light cable is too large in diameter the coupling point of the endoscope becomes extremely hot. This can lead to damage to the endoscope and potentially burn the user.
