See What Surgeons Say About Our HD Camera and Headlight System.

"Some people just buy a bright headlamp, but if you’re trying to eliminate shadows in a deeper dissection, a brighter light won’t help you. Only having the light positioned such that the illumination is perfectly in line with your vision will do the trick. That’s where BFW hits a home run."
Dr. Michael WenzelDoctor of Dental Surgery
River Dental
“We have been extremely impressed with how the PharosHD camera system can help visualize even the smallest neonatal structures deep within the chest. Not only is the video quality is unparalleled, it also lends itself to simple video production.”
Alan O’Donnell, PA-CDivision of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
