7. Core Applications
MB-350: Internal inspection of industrial pipelines and machinery
MBI-450S: Minimally invasive surgical instrument imaging
MBI-500S: Gastroenteroscopes, laparoscopy, and other medical endoscopes.Belongs to the same category of high-precision imaging fibers as Pixel Fiber, both with high-resolution characteristics
(1) As a high-performance endoscopic imaging fiber, the MBI-500S can be perfectly integrated into medical endoscope systems such as gastroenteroscopes and laparoscopy with its multi-core plastic optical fiber structure and high-resolution imaging characteristics.
(2) The optical fiber is composed of thousands of independent fiber cores precisely arranged, which can achieve clear image transmission and help doctors accurately identify diseased tissues during gastrointestinal examinations or minimally invasive surgery.
(3) Its medical-grade materials meet biocompatibility standards, ensuring the safety of clinical applications. In the future, combined with AI image enhancement and 3D imaging technology, the MBI-500S is expected to further improve the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis and provide more reliable solutions for early cancer screening and minimally invasive surgical navigation.
(4) The lightweight characteristics of the optical fiber help optimize the overall design of the endoscope and improve the doctor's operating comfort. Its anti-electromagnetic interference characteristics also enable it to work in conjunction with various surgical equipment to meet the needs of complex surgical environments.
