Description

Olympus MD-493 Suction Valve: Precise Control and Clinical Compatibility

The MD-493 valve developed by Olympus is specifically designed for endoscopic procedures requiring precise control of the suction flow. This device attaches to the main instrument (such as a rigid or flexible endoscope ) and allows the suction flow to be modulated or interrupted as required by the operator with a simple lever movement.

Its design is based on a proven mechanical mechanism: an ergonomically profiled grooved lever triggers the opening or closing of the suction channel. This lever is positioned so that it can be easily operated with the thumb or index finger, giving the user great freedom of movement during the procedure.

The MD-493 consists of several components: a machined metal distal section, a central body with an internal return spring, a locking knob and a connection tip designed to fit a wide range of standard endoscopes and suction tubes. The texture and finish of the materials ensure optimal grip, even when wearing gloves.

This device has been designed for direct integration into surgical or diagnostic practices requiring intermittent suction: cleaning of the surgical field, removal of fluids, easier visualisation, etc. It is particularly useful in urology, ENT, gastroenterology and pulmonology.

The entire valve can be dismantled for cleaning and is resistant to standard hospital sterilisation processes (autoclave or suitable chemical solutions ). Olympus has ensured high mechanical durability and compatibility with its other endoscopy devices.

With the MD-493, professionals benefit from a compact, responsive and safe device that improves the fluidity and precision of procedures in the operating theatre and during interventional consultations.

Thanks to its mechanical reliability and ease of integration, the MD-493 helps improve operating comfort while enhancing the effectiveness of care protocols.
