Instruments End Adaptors For Cables

Description

Instruments End Adaptors For Cables

The instrument end adaptor joins a light guide cable to a scope or lighted retractor. It screws onto the cable and fits the instrument’s light post.

Three fittings

We offer Acmi, Storz and Wolf fittings. Additionally, each matches the light post on that type of instrument. Therefore, check your scope before ordering.

Why an instrument end adaptor helps

One cable can serve many instruments with the right adaptors. As a result, it cuts costs. Also, it reduces clutter on the shelf.

Where it fits

Theatres using mixed scope brands rely on adaptors. Clinics with older equipment do too. Lighted retractors often need one.

Fitting it

Screw the adaptor firmly onto the cable end. Then push it onto the light post until it clicks or seats. Finally, check for a bright, even beam.

Light source side

The other end of the cable may need its own adaptor. See our light source end adaptors. Together they complete the chain from light source to instrument, with no loose fittings.
