Advanced diagnostic devices rely on precision optics that provide medical practitioners with a clear and unobstructed view of biological systems. Endoscopy, spectroscopy, and microscopy are just a few applications of medical device optics. Imaging, digital X-rays, laser delivery, and illumination all depend heavily on optics.
Advances in fiber optics have reduced the need for invasive surgery by enabling examination through endoscopes, laser delivery probes, and imaging conduits for optical coherence tomography. Minimally invasive surgery relies on precision optical tools to guide slender instruments and catheters through tiny incisions, providing surgeons with essential feedback. Fluorescence microscopy, including PCR tests for COVID-19, is used to diagnose a wide range of medical conditions. Everyday clinical practice also relies on simple optical assemblies, such as otoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, and retinoscopes.
The precision lenses, filters, and micro optics that are crucial to the function of these medical devices must be manufactured to the highest standards for optimal performance. Additionally, they need to be sterilized and assembled in a clean environment by a team experienced in medical device optics and medical optics.
