The Light Wands – Short and Small Diameter are available in three configurations, providing different wand lengths and shaft diameters for compatible surgical applications. The range includes a short standard-diameter configuration and two thin-shaft options in different lengths.

The available configurations provide flexibility when selecting a light wand according to the required working length and shaft diameter. The three options measure 3" (7.6 cm), 5.5" (14 cm), and 11" (28 cm) in wand length.

Available Configurations

Short Light Wand

The Short Light Wand has a wand length of 3" (7.6 cm) and a shaft diameter of 4.6 mm. Its compact length provides a shorter configuration for compatible applications where a reduced wand length is appropriate.

Short Thin Light Wand

The Short Thin Light Wand measures 5.5" (14 cm) in length and features a 3.2 mm shaft diameter. Its longer length combined with the smaller shaft diameter provides a thin, extended configuration.

Long Thin Light Wand

The Long Thin Light Wand has an overall wand length of 11" (28 cm) with a 3.2 mm shaft diameter. It provides the longest configuration in this range while maintaining the small shaft diameter.

Design and Configuration

The Light Wand range offers three combinations of length and shaft diameter:

• Short: 3" (7.6 cm), 4.6 mm diameter
• Short Thin: 5.5" (14 cm), 3.2 mm diameter
• Long Thin: 11" (28 cm), 3.2 mm diameter

This configuration-based selection allows users to choose the appropriate wand dimensions for compatible equipment and applications.

Applications

These light wands are designed for compatible surgical lighting applications where the specified wand configuration and dimensions are appropriate. Selection should be based on the requirements of the compatible lighting system and applicable clinical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

Select the light wand configuration according to the required wand length, shaft diameter, and compatibility with the intended lighting system. Handle the instrument carefully to maintain the integrity of the shaft and working components.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Clean the light wand according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the requirements of the compatible lighting system. Inspect the shaft and other components for visible contamination or damage before subsequent use.

Sterilization and Inspection

Where applicable, processing and sterilization should follow the manufacturer's validated instructions for the specific light wand and compatible system. Inspect the instrument before use to confirm cleanliness and structural integrity.
