A fibreoptic light cable is a flexible medical device that transmits cold light from a source to surgical or diagnostic instruments, such as endoscopes or headlights. Clinically, it enables illumination in minimally invasive procedures, improving visibility for surgeons and reducing reliance on direct light sources during operations.
These cables are typically reusable and regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are designed for integration with specific equipment and must meet safety standards for durability, light transmission efficiency, and sterilisability where applicable.
