Fiber Optic Slip Rings: The “Signal Transmission Core” of Medical Endoscopes

2026-01-12
Latest company news about Fiber Optic Slip Rings: The “Signal Transmission Core” of Medical Endoscopes

With the widespread adoption of minimally invasive medical technologies and the continued advancement of precision medicine, medical endoscopes have become indispensable core devices for clinical diagnosis and minimally invasive surgery. As the rotating joint that serves as the endoscope’s “signal transmission hub”, the performance of the fiber optic slip ring directly determines the device’s core competitiveness.

Hiscience has been deeply involved in the field of fiber optic slip rings for many years, and with its profound technological expertise, medical-grade product development capabilities, and customized service advantages, it provides highly adaptable and reliable core solutions for the medical endoscope industry.

 

 

The Core Requirements of Medical Endoscopes: Fiber Optic Slip Rings are a Key Breakthrough.


The working environment of medical endoscopes places extreme demands on their core components: on the one hand, the endoscope needs to penetrate body cavities through a thin insertion tube, requiring the equipment to be miniaturized and lightweight; on the other hand, the diagnostic and treatment process requires 360° rotation without blind spots, while simultaneously achieving distortion-free transmission of 4K/8K high-definition imaging signals and control signals, and also adapting to the rigorous environment of sterile operating rooms.

 

Traditional electrical slip rings are susceptible to electromagnetic interference when transmitting high-definition signals and have limited bandwidth, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-definition endoscopy. Ordinary fiber optic slip rings, if not optimized for medical applications, often suffer from problems such as excessive size, rotational jamming, and insufficient resistance to sterilization. Therefore, fiber optic slip rings specifically designed for medical endoscopes must possess the following core characteristics:

 

High-definition, distortion-free transmission
Support for ultra-high bandwidth of 10 Gbps or higher, fully compatible with 4K/8K endoscopic imaging to ensure precise visualization of lesion details.

 

Unrestricted 360° rotation
Low rotational resistance and smooth, jam-free operation, enabling physicians to adjust viewing angles freely during procedures.

 

Miniaturized and lightweight design
Optimized for slender endoscopic structures, with diameters controlled within 15 mm and total weight ≤ 10 g.

 

Medical-grade reliability
Resistance to high temperatures and repeated sterilization processes, compatible with ethylene oxide (EtO) and high-temperature steam sterilization.

 

Low interference and high stability

Immune to electromagnetic interference, ensuring zero data loss during signal transmission, fault-free continuous operation.

 

 

Hiscience’s Core Advantages: Precisely Matching the Extreme Demands of Medical Endoscopy

 

As a professional enterprise deeply rooted in fiber optic transmission and slip ring technology, Hiscience addresses industry challenges through three core strengths: independent technology development, customized solutions, and medical-grade quality control. The company has established long-term partnerships with leading medical equipment manufacturers, such as Mindray, United Imaging Healthcare, and SonoScape.

 

1. Independent Technology Development: Ensuring Exceptional Transmission Performance

 

Hiscience has a dedicated technical team focused on the research and development of medical-grade fiber optic slip rings, with many years of accumulated expertise in fiber optic coupling and precision mechanical design. Through independent innovation, Hiscience has successfully overcome two key technical challenges: low-insertion-loss fiber coupling and miniaturized rotating structures.

 

By adopting high-precision fiber alignment technology, signal transmission loss is controlled at ≤ 0.1 dB, with an operating wavelength range from 650 nm to 1650 nm. This enables full-spectrum transmission from visible light to near-infrared, perfectly supporting the integrated requirements of high-definition imaging and laser therapy.

 

An innovatively designed miniaturized rotating joint achieves a minimum diameter of 8 mm and a weight of only 2.5 g, enabling smooth, unrestricted 360° continuous rotation within extremely limited space. Rotational torque is maintained below 0.05 N·m, ensuring smooth operation without drag or stalling.

 

2. Customized Solutions: Full-Scenario Adaptability for Diverse Applications

 

Medical endoscopes encompass a wide range of types—including gastrointestinal endoscopes, laparoscopes, bronchoscopes, and arthroscopes—each with different installation constraints, transmission requirements, and sterilization methods. To address these diverse needs, Hiscience offers a comprehensive customized service system, enabling rapid and flexible responses to customer requirements:

 

Interface customization: Support for multiple fiber connectors such as FC, PC, and LC, ensuring seamless integration with various endoscopic designs.

 

Parameter customization: Flexible adjustment of bandwidth, rotational lifespan, and operating temperature to accommodate specialized clinical scenarios, including high-temperature surgical environments and long-duration continuous operation.

 

Structural customization: Integrated solutions for ultra-thin and flexible endoscopes, reducing assembly complexity and enhancing overall system reliability.

 

 

Future Outlook: Advancing Medical Technology Through Continuous Innovation

 

Looking to the future, Hiscience will continue to focus on medical technology innovation, collaborating with global medical equipment manufacturers to drive minimally invasive medicine towards a more precise, safer, and more efficient direction, safeguarding human health!
