Sinuscopes are durable instruments that deliver excellent visualization needed for diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical sinus and nasal procedures. It requires a light source like all other endoscopes for illumination of the objects. In lieu of expensive cost of commercial external light source we have designed a hand held customized low cost light source for sinuscope to be highly cost effective in routine practice particularly at places with poor infrastructure. This customized light source consists of hallow metallic tube fitted with LED bulb connected with battery which description we are sending for its patenting before presenting it for publication.
