Luxtec Fiber 001270315 Optic Surgical Headlight w/ Cable & Pouch

Luxtec Fiber Optic Surgical Headlight | Order No. 001270315

The Luxtec 001270315 is a high-performance fiber optic illumination system engineered for the 2026 standards of surgical visualization. Renowned for its UltraLite architecture, this headlight is designed to provide intense, shadow-free light that is always coaxial with the surgeon’s line of sight. By offloading the light source to an external xenon or LED console, this system minimizes head-borne weight, significantly reducing neck strain during long-duration procedures.

This configuration includes the adjustable headband, a high-transmission light guide cable, and the original Luxtec protective drawstring pouch, offering a reliable, high-fidelity lighting solution for both primary and specialty surgical applications.

Key Performance Features

• Coaxial Optical Alignment: The adjustable optic module allows the light beam to be centered exactly within the surgeon's field of vision, ensuring that deep cavities and narrow corridors are fully illuminated without shadows.

• UltraLite Headband Design: Features a lightweight, multi-point adjustable headband that distributes weight evenly. The design is intended to remain stable during active surgical maneuvers while maintaining comfort throughout multi-hour cases.

• High-Efficiency Light Guide: The included Luxtec fiber optic cable is engineered for maximum light transmission with minimal heat transfer. It features reinforced strain relief at the connection points to prevent fiber breakage during frequent positioning.

• Variable Spot Control: The optic housing allows the user to adjust the spot size and focus, tailoring the light field to the specific requirements of the procedure—from wide-field general surgery to concentrated microsurgical spots.

• Universal Light Source Compatibility: While designed for Luxtec/Integra consoles, the standard cable interface is compatible with most high-intensity xenon and LED light sources via standard adapters (Storz, Olympus, Wolf, etc.).

• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Ensuring accurate color rendering for flap assessment and microsurgery.

• General & Cardiovascular Surgery: Supplementing overhead lighting during high-precision dissections.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Optical Integrity: The fiber optic cable has been inspected for light transmission; it remains bright with minimal "peppering" (broken fibers). The distal lens is clear and free of scratches.

• Mechanical Condition: The headband adjustment ratchets are crisp and hold their position securely. The light guide cable shows no signs of fraying or outer jacket compromise.

• Note: This listing is for the headlight and cable only. A compatible external light source is required for operation.
