Light source adaptor

A light source adaptor is a reusable connecting device that links different light delivery systems, ensuring compatibility between components from various manufacturers. Clinically, it enables surgeons to attach fiberoptic cables or light handles to a light source or surgical instrument, creating a seamless light pathway for procedures requiring illumination, such as minimally invasive surgeries or endoscopic procedures.

These adaptors are typically regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are designed to be reusable, requiring proper cleaning and sterilization between uses, and may be subject to performance standards ensuring safety and compatibility with connected light sources and instruments.
