Colonovideoscope PCF-160AL/I

Unlocking Colon Health: Discover the Pioneering Olympus PCF-160AL/I Colonovideoscope

The Olympus PCF-160AL/I colonovideoscope offers more than just a slim design aimed at reducing patient discomfort; it introduces the revolutionary variable stiffness insertion tube. Unlike traditional scopes, this groundbreaking technology features a built-in coil within the insertion tube that can be expanded or contracted as needed. This innovation marks the world's first user-adjustable flexible insertion tube, allowing clinicians to modify the tube's flexibility discretely. This adjustment capability significantly reduces the risk of looping during insertion and facilitates easier advancement beyond the splenic flexure, potentially enhancing procedural efficiency and patient comfort.

Adjusting the flexibility of the tube is a straightforward process. With a simple turn of the knob located beneath the control section, clinicians can incrementally adjust the insertion tube's flexibility to match the internal conditions and contours of the colon accurately. This adaptability not only improves insertion capability but also minimizes patient discomfort, ultimately reducing the time required for examinations.

Moreover, the variable stiffness insertion tube enhances accessibility to the cecum, particularly in cases where insertion proves challenging. By reducing the need for abdominal pressure and positional changes, this innovative technology alleviates the workload on medical staff during examinations, streamlining the procedure and improving overall patient care.

In addition to its innovative variable stiffness insertion tube, the Olympus PCF-160AL/I colonovideoscope offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing clinicians to adjust the tube's flexibility to accommodate the unique internal conditions and contours of the colon effortlessly. This adjustment is made simple by turning a knob conveniently located below the control section, ensuring precise customization tailored to each patient's anatomy.

Despite its advanced capabilities, the PCF-160AL/I maintains a slender profile, featuring an outer diameter of just 11.5 mm for reduced patient discomfort during insertion. Despite its slim design, it boasts a channel with a 3.2 mm inner diameter, making it suitable for routine colonoscopy procedures while maintaining ample functionality.

When combined with the dedicated CV-160 video system center, the PCF-160AL/I delivers superior image quality even in the expanded full height mode. This ensures clear visualization and detailed examination of the colon, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and procedural outcomes.

With an extra-wide 140˚ field of view and extensive 4-way angulation (180˚ up/down and 160˚ right/left), the PCF-160AL/I enables comprehensive examination of the colon, ensuring no area is left unchecked. Its ergonomically designed grip enhances scope maneuverability, while redesigned knobs and user-selectable switches improve operability, contributing to a smoother and more efficient procedure.

Fully compatible with the CV-160/140/100 systems, the PCF-160AL/I seamlessly integrates into existing endoscopy suites. Additionally, its Scope ID function stores individual scope information and displays it on the monitor, facilitating endoscopy suite management and ensuring efficient workflow coordination.
