Does anyone know of any makes/models of cold light source suitable for use when getting blood samples from neonates ?

And I've just realised that they aren't in our database.... but they will be tonight!

If anyone has their URL and email can they post it here please?

We've got two. An old one from Richard Wolf and a newish one from Rimmer Brothers - or maybe it's the other way round. Anyway, I don't think you'll have much joy with Rimmer Brothers as I think they only have a repair workshop still operating. Pitty, because they made some good light sources at a sensible price.
There's no point giving you model numbers as I'm sure they're not current production.

Thanks for that info. Brandon Medical sell them through Neonatal Perspectives on 01844 345151.

Rimmer Brothers light sources are now sold by RB MEDICAL, which is the same company but at new premises;we have just bought two Neonate 100 light sources with transilluminator fibre-light leads GA110;

There are also some very expensive models around,but we trialled a few in our NNU,
and this was fine,but only has one lamp.
