Head reflector

A head reflector is a reusable medical device worn on the head that uses a concave mirror to direct light onto a specific area of a patient’s body, such as the nose, throat, or skin surface, for visual examination or minor procedures. The user looks through a central aperture in the mirror while positioning it to illuminate the target site, enabling hands-free, focused illumination during clinical assessments.

As a reusable device, head reflectors are subject to standard reprocessing requirements between uses and are regulated based on their intended use and risk profile, typically falling under general medical device regulations without requiring drug or software components. They are supplied as standalone instruments for clinical use and are not classified as medicated, implantable, or electrically powered devices unless otherwise specified in the definition.
