MEDICAL
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
The Medical division of WEINERT industries serves the healthcare and life science sector with fiber optic based medical products. Markets: We work with medical device manufacturers, surgical laser companies, diagnostic equipment producers, and biomedical research institutions. Our products ultimately find their way to hospitals, clinics, and labs around the world via these OEM partners. Applications: Notable applications of our medical fiber solutions include:
Laser Surgery
Our optical laser probes are used in surgical procedures such as ophthalmology (e.g. , retinal photocoagulation). urology (e g.. laser lithotripsy for kidney stones using Ho:YAG lasers), and oncology (6.0. laser ablation of tumors). We provide the disposable fiber probes that deliver laser light from the laser console to the patient’s tissue, with variants optimized for different wavelengths (from UV266nm up to infrared 2100+ nm)
Endoscopy and Imaging
Fiber optic bundles we produce can be found in endoscopic imaging systems, transmitting light and images in minimally invasive surgeries or diagnostic scopes. For instance, a flexible ureteroscopy may include, our coherent fiber bundle to relay an image from inside the body to a camera.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and Dental Lasers
Specialty fiber catheters deliver light for photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment or for dental laser tools.
These require small form factors and often have to be serializable – a combination we address with our design and materials expertise.
Diagnostics
Some advanced diagnostic machines, like certain flow cytometers or fiber-optic biosensors, use our fibers to carry, excitation light to samples or collect fluorescence signals. The healthcare applications we support can range from in-vitro diagnostic devices in labs to wearable fiber-optic sensors for patient monitoring.
In all these areas, patient safety and efficacy are paramount. WEINERTs deep understanding of medical device regulations and quality standards ensures that our fiber products contribute to safe, effective medical technologies. By providing OEMs with reliable, high-performance optical components, we indirectly contribute to improved patient outcomes – whether it’s sharper imaging during a critical surgery or more precise delivery of therapeutic laser energy.
OUR PRODUCTS
MEDICAL DIVISION
Medical Laser Probes
The flagship product of our medical division, these are liber-optic laser delivery probes for surgical and therapeutic use. We produce a variety of probe types: bare fiber probes, diffusing tips for uniform light delivery (for…
Illumination Fiber Bundles
Fiber optic bundles for surgical illumination or imaging. For example, we offer multi-fiber bundles that channel light from a high intensity LED source to a surgical headlamp or endoscope, providing bright, cool illumination. These…
Medical Cable Assemblies and Connectors
We supply the cable assemblies that interface with
medical laser equipment – for instance, an optical fiber
cable that runs from a laser box to a handpiece. These often have proprietary connectors or standard SMA/FO
Fiber Optics Sensors for Medicine
An emerging area, we also work on fiber-based sensors such as fiber optic pressure sensors in catheters or fiber probes for spectroscopic tissue analysis (e.g., in brain monitoring or oximetry.) While these may be custom…
