An ENT transilluminator is a hand-held instrument used during ear, nose, and throat procedures to illuminate sinus tissue, making it translucent for visual examination. It works by transmitting light through a fiberoptic bundle to the target area, allowing clinicians to assess tissue integrity or detect abnormalities such as fluid or masses.
This device is reusable and typically constructed from high-grade stainless steel with a fiberoptic core. It requires connection to an external light source via a light cable, which may be integrated or separate, and is regulated as a medical device based on its intended use and design characteristics.
