Cold Light Cables -BlueLine ... ... in modern Endoscopy Surgery In modern Endoscopy Surgery there has been a lot of technical advancement and sophistication just in the last couple of years. 3 CCD cameras, XENON light sources, High-Tech Insufflators have made their way into a multitude of operation theaters of today. With all this technical refinement of Endoscopy equipment it is very frequently overlooked that also a Cold Light Cable of the same quality standard is both essential and indispensable in order to get the best visual results and to guarantee a long lifetime especially of the...

The RfQ Fiber Light Guide -BlueLine is made to withstand and to shield against very high thermic energies especially with the use of Xenon light sources by their patented design of fusing fiber light guides in the -BlueLine cables. This allows avoiding any type of inside glue or cement for compacting the fiber elements. In addition to these already highlighted features all RfQ -BlueLine Fiber-Light guides provide a much more efficient light transmission by offering the Endoscopy surgeon 20% more light in the operating field. There is much better compliance to all necessary and required...

Recommendation What kind of light-guides and under what circumstances? The most users of the fibre light-guides have still an opinion that the cable with a wide diameter (called "a thick cable") is able to provide more light than a "thin" one. It will be explained as following: “There runs more light through a thick cable because there are more glass fibres inside". But this opinion is wrong and can be even grave! The choise of the fibre light-guide depends on the aim, you need it for. The following sketch shows that for the thin endoscopes the thin light-guides are to use, for the thick...

Combined Sketch You use a thick light-guide with diameter of 4,9 mm. You use the thin optics with diameter of 3,5 mm of light entry. You use a thin light-guide with diameter of 3,5 mm. You use the thick optics with diameter of 4,9 mm of light entry. You use a thin light-guide with diameter of 3,5 mm. You use the thin optics with diameter of 3,5 mm of light entry. Circumstances: This combination must be chosen in no way. The cause is the connecting piece of the endoscopes can become very hot because the light gets to the metal. The result is a possible overheating. Therefore the risk arises...

Coloured Fiber Light Guides What are the fiber-light-guides coloured for ? The matter is very simple and logical as well. As you know different light-guides have to be used by different endoscopes. For employees who work in the OP-room or in the central sterilisation ward it is rather difficult to identify visually, if a light-guide has a diameter of 2.5, 3.5 or 4.9 mm. Nowadays it is possible to settle this problem visually. It meansy you define once-in-a time that e.g. the tube of “thin” light-guides used for arthroscopy or urology will be red-coloured. The tubes of “thick” light-guides...

The logical consequence - The High Performance Light Cable The -Blue-Line® cables are particularly effective in XENON cold-light sources. These light sources focus the light at a very small focal point that has the size of the light entry area of the -Blue-Line® cable. Under these conditions, the adhesive-free light entry area of the -Blue-Line® cable absorbs the maximum possible light intensity.
