ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic illuminator for use in surgery includes an adapter having a barrel to be received in a socket adjacent a light source, a body with a conical bore therein and a light conducting rod mounted in the barrel, an interconnector having as conical end received in the conical bore of the adapter to position a proximal end of a fiber optic element adjacent the light conducting rod, a support hub having a distal end mounting a cannula, and a length of flexible tubing connecting the interconnector and the support hub, the fiber optic element passing through the tubing, the support hub and the cannula and having a distal end positioned at the distal end of the cannula such that light from the light source is conducted to the distal end of the cannula via the light conducting rod and the fiber optic element. The fiber optic illuminator is designed to efficiently transmit light with little loss and to be economically disposable.
