Graded-index perfluorinated POF: combining the best of the glass fiber and plastic fiber worlds
MedPOF® achieves breakthrough optical performance that surpasses traditional plastic optical fibers. MedPOF® is multilayered to optimize performance. The layers are extruded to outstanding tolerances. The resulting fiber is biocompatible and sterilizable. MedPOF® complies with USP Biological Reactivity Tests in vivo–USP Class VI–so designers are free to target the sterile field and invasive applications. MedPOF® can be sterilized by conventional EtO or Radiation techniques.
Medical Sensing
MedPOF® is transparent for todays and tomorrow's wavelengths for direct or spectroscopic sensing techniques and compatible with extrinsic or instrinsic optical techniques. MedPOF® enables detection of gamma, e-beam, x-ray and UV-IR radiation levels.
Medical Illumination
MedPOF® fibers have a 5mm long-term bend radii for endoscopic illumination and flexible image bundles. Also ideal for catheter placement indicators, including intrinsic and extrinsic detection.
Medical Power Delivery
Chromis MedPOF® is well suited for use in low power ophthalmic
and photodynamic therapy probes. It can be terminated using simple, inexpensive tools and polishes in seconds to a smooth, low-loss power-friendly end-face.
