Medit Inc. was able to donate a battery-powered endoscope and light source intended for use in the field.

The light source has a great utilization which makes the inspection process more comfortable. The equipment is light, compact, portable and runs on standard AAA rechargeable batteries which makes it irreplaceable at locations where power supply is limited or not available.
