Illuminated instruments
Intelligent photonics technology
Total internal reflection:
Directs and shapes light
- Proprietary design controls, transmits and retains light
- Bends and shapes light to maximize its critical angle and prevent light from escaping
- Narrow and wide PhotonGuide tip designs further tailor light projection
Solid core optical-grade polymer:
Couples and captures light
- Solid core polymer captures light from the source
- Eliminates light loss and thermal risks that can occur with fiber-to-fiber misalignment
- Creates a thermally-cool connection
Refractive output surface:
Extracts and projects light
- Unique, refractive microlenses cover the outputsurface, extracting and directing light at varying angles
- Creates redundancy of light that eliminates shadows
- Mitigates masking by blood or fluids
- Minimizes backward glare
- Results in wider light projection
Intelligent Photonics:
Delivers thermally-cool, volumetric lighting
- At equal distance from target, delivers broader,volumetric light projection
- Generates thermally-cool illumination; maximum output temperature remains below established burn risk
