Specifications of the EC38-i10F2 Endoscope
The EC38-i10F2, a radial array ultrasound endoscope (EUS) from Pentax Medical, embodies the cutting-edge advancements of the i10 series. Designed to offer unmatched high-definition (HD+) imaging performance, this device features a next-generation megapixel CCD sensor that ensures sharp, clear, and bright endoscopic images. Whether used in gastroenterology or pulmonology, the EC38-i10F2 provides clinicians with an exceptional visualization tool with an extended field of view, enabling detailed examination.
One of the most remarkable features of the EC38-i10F2 is its exclusive close-focus capability. This functionality allows clinicians to zoom in on suspicious mucosal details with extraordinary precision. By combining this close-focus technology with the advanced imaging system, physicians can significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy. This is particularly crucial for the early detection of pathologies and for planning effective therapeutic interventions.
The EC38-i10F2 also includes an Extended Therapeutic Option, incorporating a water jet system. This water jet system is designed to facilitate various therapeutic procedures on all standard and slim endoscopes. It enables effective irrigation of the examination area, improving visibility and precision during interventions. Whether for cleaning the mucosal surface or removing debris during a procedure, the EC38-i10F2’s water jet system is an invaluable tool for clinicians, ensuring optimal visibility and increased procedural efficiency.
In terms of design, the EC38-i10F2 benefits from Improved Graduated Flexibility (GDF). This graduated flexibility offers enhanced maneuverability and optimal insertion control, which is essential for navigating through complex anatomical structures. GDF not only improves examination performance but also prioritizes patient comfort during procedures such as colonoscopies. By reducing rigidity and increasing the instrument's suppleness, clinicians can perform smoother and more precise insertions, thereby minimizing patient discomfort.
The optimized control body of the EC38-i10F2 also contributes to its lighter weight and improved ergonomics. These enhancements allow clinicians to navigate with ease and precision through complex anatomical structures. A well-designed control body is essential for reducing operator fatigue during lengthy procedures.
Clinicians particularly appreciate the EC38-i10F2 for its ability to meet the demands of complex endoscopic procedures while maintaining simple and easy-to-navigate functionality. Its ergonomic design ensures increased maneuverability and control, which are crucial for navigating with precision and comfort through complex anatomical structures. The EC38-i10F2’s versatility extends to its therapeutic capabilities, allowing clinicians to perform a wide range of procedures with confidence and efficiency.
The 140-degree angle of view and focal range of 4 to 100 mm of the EC38-i10F2 provide an extended and detailed visualization of the examination area. The 180-degree up and down angulation and 160-degree right and left angulation ensure maximum flexibility, allowing clinicians to efficiently explore all relevant areas. This comprehensive range of motion and advanced imaging capability makes the EC38-i10F2 an indispensable tool in modern endoscopy, offering unparalleled diagnostic and therapeutic options.
