Olympus GIF-1TQ160: Precision and Maneuverability for Optimal Gastrointestinal Exploration
The Olympus GIF-1TQ160 is a gastrointestinal videoscope designed to provide high-precision visualization while ensuring optimal maneuverability for practitioners. Part of the EVIS EXERA line, it incorporates features that enable detailed evaluation of the upper digestive tract. Its 140° field of view and frontal viewing direction ensure clear and comprehensive observation of internal structures. The depth of field, ranging from 3 to 100 mm, allows for precise visualization of the various tissue layers being examined, facilitating the detection of gastrointestinal abnormalities and pathologies.
With a distal end diameter of 10.9 mm and an insertion tube of 11.3 mm, this endoscope combines finesse and robustness for smooth and comfortable patient insertion. Its flexible angulation system, with a range of 210° upwards, 90° downwards, and 100° to each side, allows efficient access to hard-to-reach anatomical areas while maintaining intuitive handling. Its working length of 1030 mm and total length of 1340 mm provide an ideal reach for complete and thorough exploration.
One of the major strengths of the GIF-1TQ160 is its 3.7 mm diameter working channel, which facilitates the introduction of endotherapeutic instruments while maintaining optimal visibility during interventions. Its minimal visibility distance of only 4 mm from the distal end allows for a close and precise approach to areas of interest. The positioning of the endotherapeutic accessory entry and exit within the field of view enhances coordination between tool manipulation and real-time observation.
The integrated high-resolution imaging system ensures faithful transmission of colors and textures, optimizing diagnostic precision. The integration of the auxiliary channel and irrigation system guarantees effective removal of secretions and other residues that could impair image quality. Thanks to its compatibility with the EVIS EXERA system, this endoscope seamlessly integrates into modern medical infrastructures, facilitating its use in daily clinical settings.
The ergonomics of the GIF-1TQ160 are designed to provide optimal comfort for practitioners, reducing fatigue during prolonged examinations. Its intuitive handling allows for precise control of movements and angulations, ensuring better fluidity in performing medical procedures. Its robustness and ease of maintenance make it a reliable choice for healthcare facilities seeking a high-performing and durable endoscope. Whether for routine examinations or more complex procedures, it meets the demands of gastroenterologists seeking to combine image quality, maneuverability, and operational efficiency.
