PURAVIS®

PURAVIS® glass optical fibers offer the advantages of outstanding light transmission and a long lifetime, giving designers the freedom to create lighting solutions for a vast range of applications. Winner of a German Innovation Award, PURAVIS® delivers intense, precise light for medical and industrial applications.

Excellent light properties

PURAVIS® glass optical fibers offer outstanding transmission of white light, with a low color shift ensuring that illuminated objects retain their natural color, even in long-length applications. Thanks to their large acceptance angle, the fibers also capture more light from the very start, while their very low dispersion results in high color uniformity.

Long lifetime

Outstanding chemical and mechanical stability results in PURAVIS® fibers having a long lifespan. This is vital for the effectiveness of medical reprocessing techniques such as autoclaving and cleaning, as well as industrial applications using high temperatures or hazardous chemical substances.

Product variants

SCHOTT PURAVIS® is available in a number of variants for different lighting requirements. From long, flexible light guides to shorter, rigid glass rods shaped according to your needs, PURAVIS® delivers premium transmission with excellent color rendering.

Extraordinary properties for precise performance

Available in a range of diameters, SCHOTT PURAVIS® glass optical fibers feature a range of unique technical benefits, including exceptional transmission of white light and large acceptance angles. Taken with low color shift and low attenuation in the visible range, these remarkable fibers are able to handle extremely challenging conditions with high consistency and precision.

High numerical aperture

Large acceptance angles between 70° and 120° deliver an exceptional amount of light that provides an expansive field of vision.

Ideal for diagnostics

Improved transmission in the near-UV range enables medical diagnostics applications such as PDD and fluorescent microscopy.

High chemical stability

Superior chemical resistance when compared with conventional fibers enables a long lifetime under repeated reprocessing cycles.

Mechanically stable

PURAVIS® fibers feature high mechanical stability that offers excellent flexibility, very small bending radii and low fiber breakage.

Environmentally friendly

Produced without the toxic substances arsenic or antimony, PURAVIS® glass fibers do not contain lead or other hazardous substances.

Cost effective

PURAVIS® glass optical fibers offer an affordable price thanks to their multi-component core and cladding glasses.

We are certified
