Light sources designed to provide light illumination at the distal end of a rigid endoscope (e.g., laparoscopes) and/or to other devices by delivering light through a fiberoptic cable attached to the proximal end of the device. These light sources usually consist of a lamp fixture that include one of a variety of light sources [e.g., xenon, halogen, incandescent, light emitting diodes (LED)] and a detachable fiberoptic cable; dedicated adapters are frequently necessary for particular types of rigid endoscopes or other devices. Rigid Endoscope/multipurpose, light sources are used in endoscopic or intracavitary procedures performed for diagnosis, therapy, or surgery.
