Head-worn fibreoptic light

28 devices · GMDN 46808

Head-worn fibreoptic lights are portable illumination devices worn on a headband or helmet, designed to direct focused cold light into a surgeon’s or clinician’s field of view during procedures. They enhance visibility of delicate or hard-to-see areas, such as in microsurgery or dermatology, by reducing shadows and improving precision without obstructing hand movements.

These devices are typically classified as surgical aids and may require compliance with general medical device regulations depending on jurisdiction. They are often supplied as standalone units, requiring connection to an external light source, and are commonly used in operating rooms, clinics, or field settings where portable lighting is needed.
