The physical characteristics of high-quality, silica optical fiber make it a natural choice for a broad range of uses, including many in the medical industry. For example, fiber can provide a very compact, flexible conduit for light or data delivery in equipment, surgical and instrumentation applications.
However, users must carefully choose the right optical fiber to avoid delays in product design and launch, along with increased development costs. A recent Medical Design Briefs article by OFS’ Jaehan Kim and Jonathan Loft explores the wide array of fibers available for this market. To access this article, please go HERE.
