EG-3870UTK: an Endoscopic Ultrasound Tool Designed for Diagnostic Accuracy and Therapeutic Efficiency
Designed to meet the demands of interventional endoscopy specialists, the Pentax EG-3870UTK is a linear echo endoscope that combines precise ultrasound visualisation with excellent working ergonomics. Thanks to its linear array transducer, it offers a 120° wide ultrasound view, coupled with high-quality imaging, essential for the detection and staging of tumours and lymph nodes in the digestive tract.
This model is compatible with imaging technologies such as real-time elastography (HI-RTE) and Doppler, enabling better localisation of lesions and more accurate analysis. The combination of these modes provides clinicians with additional landmarks for targeted procedures, particularly in pancreatic or digestive wall examinations.
The EG-3870UTK also stands out for its manoeuvrability. Its flexible tip moves easily in four directions (up/down 130° and right/left 120°), facilitating navigation in complex anatomical areas. Simple control features — such as the one-touch inflatable balloon system, two-stage suction control and three-stage air/water valve — enable smooth and efficient handling.
With an insertion diameter of 12.8 mm and an operator channel of 3.8 mm, the endoscope is suitable for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This versatility broadens the range of applications, from routine examinations to complex endoscopic procedures such as punctures and drainages.
The EG-3870UTK model is therefore part of a comprehensive approach to therapeutic echoendoscopy, where image quality, compatibility with complementary tools and ergonomics are designed to help practitioners perform precise and reliable procedures. This device offers a balanced combination of clinical performance and ease of use.
