We have put together a document compiling a variety of case studies over the years that feature Timesco laryngoscopes. You can view this document here

Optima XL have had a facelift and are now Timesco XENON. We have made some improvements to the bulb housing and given the brand a facelift including our packaging. Timesco XENON handles are fully ISO 7376 compatible and are still identified by a green band.
All handles feature a new Xenon bulb for maximum illumination. Are fully autoclaveable and covered by our lifetime guarantee.

Timesco XENON is compatible with Sirius, Optima, Optima CLX and Freeway Blades.
Our new XLED laryngoscope handle has been developed to provide bright-white illumination, whilst retaining all the advantages of existing Timesco laryngoscope handles.
The XLED bulb provides over 30,000 hours of use, emits up to 3,720 lux and maximizes battery life due to its low power consumption. Unlike other systems, our XLED bulb is easily removed allowing the whole handle to be efficiently cleaned via autoclaving.

The XLED laryngoscope handle is fully compatible with Timesco Callisto, Freeway, Optima CLX and Sirius Laryngoscope blades.
The following depicts the spectral irradiance of three Timesco fibre optic blades at the distance 20mm from the end of the blade (in accordance with the test requirements for compliance with ISO 7376:2003 (E) Annex B, section B.2), whilst the table below demonstrates the illuminance and colorimetry.
- The output of the Timesco XLED handle, regardless of blade type produces wavelengths which peak at 457nm and 555nm.
- The 555nm peak, the broader of the two peaks, closely correlates with normal photopic eye response.
- Wavelengths in this range may be beneficial to abnormal tissue identification in endoscopy and have a possible translation to laryngoscopy.
