The beginning of the use of forehead reflectors is closely related to technological inventions of the XIX-XX centuries, namely light sources.
The prototype of a reflecting mirror was created in 1806 by the German doctor Philip Bozzini, and another German doctor, Friedrich Hoffmann, 1841 invented a mirror for examining the upper respiratory tract and ear. Since that time, the technique and devices have been improved, various modifications have been created.
Czech and Austrian physiologist Johann Cermak (1858) is considered the inventor of the forehead mirror. Fastening on the forehead was proposed in 1861 by the German otologist Anton Trelch. An electric head-up mirror was proposed by the Austrian Konrad Klar ("Klar 55" illuminator). New technologies and inventions have gradually replaced traditional forehead reflectors.
Modern headlamps can additionally be equipped with LEDs, a video camera, and various optics. They are used for diagnosis, implementation of various treatment procedures in many medical areas, and surgical interventions.
Among the advantages of modern lighting devices:
- a powerful stream of light of high intensity,
- a clear light spot of regular shape,
- uniform adjustable light field,
- color temperature ensures the true color of mucous membranes and skin,
- built-in batteries and a long duration of operation without recharging,
- simple one-handed control,
- ergonomic design,
- binoculars with magnification,
- a stylish case for transportation.
The main purpose of the Head Lights is to illuminate the working field. This is necessary for high-quality visualization, precise manipulation by the doctor, and correct diagnosis because insufficient lighting can fail even an experienced doctor.
With such a reliable assistant, the doctor will not have to strain his vision, so the eyes will get less tired during long examinations or operations. Therefore, buying a forehead illuminator is a great decision for a doctor.
