American Medicals is proud to announce the arrival of our Custom Medical Fiber Optic Cables and Custom Cable Design Application to www.americanmedicals.com! These specially designed medical fiber optic cables use only medical grade silicone and stainless steel and with the fiber drawn in-house, we control the highest quality of every component. Every light cord is high temperature Xenon compatible, rated to the highest level of thermal resistance and quality-tested to ensure the highest light output possible.
American Medicals now offers more than 19,000 combinations of light cord styles, lengths, reinforcement, and end tips. In addition to standard light cords, we offer a Universal Light Cord option utilizing "Mix & Match" end tips for use with the most popular light sources and instruments.
Ordering a custom medical fiber optic cable is a simple seven step process which lets you, the customer, choose your own Proximal and Distal connectors, cable bundle size, cord length and connector angle, reinforcement type and cable sheathing color!
Our online order application guides you through each step of the design process. The application then shows a graphical representation of the custom designed cable, including the custom part number. Recently American Medicals has added the option to laser engrave each cable with a logo or design of your choice.
Features
Intended Use:
This fiber optic cable transmits illumination from a light source to a surgical instrument or surgical headlight. The fiber optic cable is compatible in light sources with a power rating up to 300-watt Xenon.
Handling:
With proper treatment and care, a fiber optic cable can stay in service for long intervals. Avoid stretching the cable, forming configurations involving sharp angles or kinks, or contact with sharp objects. Do not place objects on the cable that could crush it. Keep the optical faces from contacting the floor and free of fingerprints, foreign matter, and scratches. Handle the cable by the strain reliever when removing it from a light source. Remove the cable from service immediately if a puncture is found in the outer sheathing.
Cleaning:
A moist cloth or soft bristled brush moistened with a neutral pH enzymatic cleaner or mild soap and water is recommended to remove visible debris. Wipe or brush as necessary to remove the debris. Do not use synthetic detergents or oil-based soap, as the chemicals may cause skin irritation. Rinse thoroughly in warm tap water, followed by a distilled water rinse.
Sterilization:
Our fiber optic cables are compatible to withstand repeated sterilizations in the following types of sterilizers: STERRAD® Systems - 100NX, 100S, 50, 200; STERIS System 1®; and steam sterilized in a prevacuum sterilizer for 3 minutes at 134 degrees C with a 20 minute dry time. It is best to sterilize the cable separately. Place the cable in an approved sterilization tray. Do not place in a Tyvek® pouch in STERRAD® systems. After sterilization, allow the cable to cool slowly to room temperature. Do not immerse or rinse in cold liquid, as fiber breakage will occur.
Warning:
Never look into the optical end while it is connected to a light source. Always turn off the light source prior to removing the cable. The light source connector may become hot during use. Never rest the cable end on a patient or bedding. To prevent cable damage any Xenon light source used should have a minimum of 90% IR filtering.
