Endoscopic technologies on display at booth 505 include:
EB-530H Super Image Video Bronchoscope: With a high-resolution, wide angle image of 140°, the EB-530H has an observational field 20° wider than the conventional view. This enables better visualization without having to zoom, resulting in effective and detailed diagnosis.
 
EB-530P Slim Image Video Bronchoscope: Equipped with a remarkably small outer diameter of 3.8mm and a 1.2mm forceps, the EB-530H allows for improved insertion capabilities into the peripheral bronchi. This model also offers compatibility with
electrosurgery and high frequency treatment.
 
EB-530T Treatment Video Bronchoscope: A bronchoscope suited for greater therapeutic access, this model contains a forceps channel of 2.8mm as well as enhanced suction performance and forceps tube junctions. The EB-530T’s slim outside can facilitate even the most challenging procedures.
 
EB-530US Ultrasonic Video Bronchoscope: This scope was designed to reduce patient discomfort and improve maneuverability with its distal end outer diameter of 6.7mm. The EBUS Systems is to be used in conjunction with the SU-1 Ultrasonic Processors to experience improved insertion capability and physician efficiency.
