GIF-XP190N: The ultra-slim Olympus endoscope combining comfort, precision, and therapeutic compatibility for modern GI endoscopy
The Olympus GIF-XP190N is a cutting-edge endoscope developed to meet the high demands of modern gastrointestinal endoscopy, especially in procedures requiring an ultra-slim profile without compromising image quality or therapeutic capabilities. Part of the EVIS EXERA III system, it brings Olympus’s latest optical and mechanical innovations into a compact design that performs exceptionally in delicate procedures and narrow anatomical pathways.
With a 5.4 mm outer distal diameter, the GIF-XP190N allows for easy insertion, significantly reducing patient discomfort—especially important for pediatric, geriatric, or unsedated patients. The 5.8 mm insertion tube is also designed for smooth, controlled navigation through the upper GI tract down to the duodenum.
One of the GIF-XP190N’s standout features is its enhanced image quality, achieved through the use of dual light guides and an advanced image sensor. This combination provides increased brightness and significantly reduces shadows caused by instruments, resulting in better visualization of anatomical structures and more accurate procedure execution. When used with the EVIS EXERA III platform, the scope’s performance is maximized, particularly under white light and NBI (Narrow Band Imaging), which offers enhanced contrast between blood vessels and mucosa, aiding in early lesion detection.
Another key benefit is the expanded 140° field of view, matching that of larger-diameter gastroscopes. Even in tight spaces, this panoramic visual coverage minimizes blind spots and reduces the need for excessive scope manipulation, improving procedure efficiency and comfort.
Despite its compact size, the GIF-XP190N includes a 2.2 mm working channel, which provides increased suction volume and supports a wider range of therapeutic devices, including those used in electrosurgery. This makes the scope suitable for both diagnostic procedures and low to moderate complexity interventions.
The scope also features a fully submersible one-touch waterproof connector, which eliminates the need for a water-resistant cap. This reduces the risk of accidental water damage and makes setup and cleaning faster and safer, streamlining workflow between procedures.
Compatibility with the Olympus CV-190 video processor and CLV-190 xenon light source ensures seamless integration with existing equipment and optimal use of the scope’s optical and digital capabilities.
The GIF-XP190N is an ultra-slim, high-performance, and versatile endoscope, designed to meet the clinical needs of professionals seeking comfort, clarity, therapeutic flexibility, and operational reliability. It is an ideal choice for endoscopy units that aim to combine advanced imaging technology with patient-centered care.
