Fiber Optic Equipment in Medical Science


Fiber optic equipments are used widely in the medical field for treating variety of ailments and its usage is rapidly spreading out. The development of fiber optics has also produced other devices related to telecommunications technology, as well as medical applications which are beneficial in the diagnosis of diseases.

French inventor named Claude Chappe invented fiber optic. Fiber optics is made of very thin and flexible strands of glass or plastic material. It is used in medical field for various diagnoses like endoscopy.


Endoscopes are fiber optic scopes that is used for illumination of the area under examination. Endoscopes health market include high definition systems, disease screening procedures, colorectal cancer etc. Laser fiber optics used in the application of cardiology is the fastest growing application.

Benefits of Microscopy
Optical grade cover glass provides durable chemical attack resistance and insures high accuracy of medical analysis. It is made of excellent glass quality and provides proper transmission with low inclusion rates.

Dental Glass
Dental glass is increasing in demand for tooth-colored filling materials and it is safe and bio-compatible.
Growing demand of fiber optics in the healthcare market sector is pushing suppliers to expand product and manufacturers to focus on developing fibers which provide enhanced performance and control features.
