Schott ushers in a new age of light for single-use endoscopes with the “Single EZ guide” light guide: The light guide is designed as a plug-and-play component and can therefore be easily, quickly and cost-effectively integrated into the overall system. Thanks to the space-saving use of flexible glass fibers, a maximum of light can be transported to the scene in the very thin light guides.
The fiber-based lighting reduces heat transfer and thus contributes to a simpler medical technology approval. With the Single EZ concept, Schott simplifies the integration of fiber optic illumination and leverages its many advantages for single-use endoscopes. Lighting methods such as direct-LED or plastic fibers reach their technical limits here.

Especially with very thin skopes such as bronchoscopes, rhinoscopes or urethroscopes the available space for lighting is limited. The Schott concept maximizes the amount of light by filling the available space to a maximum through an active area.
A regulated heat management and the increased image quality through better light are further features of the light guide, which has also been reduced in its complaexity.
