Olympus OSF-2: Advanced Flexible Sigmoidoscope for Precision Large Intestine Examinations

The Olympus OSF-2 Flexible Sigmoidoscope represents the culmination of Olympus' expertise in the field of gastroenterology. Designed with careful attention to detail and a deep understanding of the needs of healthcare professionals, this device offers a range of exceptional features for accurate and efficient gastrointestinal examinations. As a global leader in the medical device industry, Olympus has invested in research and development to produce a superior quality flexible sigmoidoscope, meeting the highest standards of performance and reliability. The OSF-2 is specifically calibrated to provide sharp, detailed visualization of the last third of the large intestine, which includes the rectum and sigmoid colon. Its ergonomic design and ease of use make it an indispensable tool for healthcare professionals, allowing them to conduct examinations with precision and confidence. In summary, the Olympus OSF-2 Flexible Sigmoidoscope embodies excellence and innovation in the field of gastroenterology, providing a cutting-edge solution for high-quality gastrointestinal examinations.

Examining the specifications of the Olympus OSF-2 more closely, one finds the presence of an advanced optical system. With a field of view of 100 degrees, doctors benefit from exceptional visualization of crucial anatomical details. The forward-oriented direction of view ensures maximum clarity during procedures, while the depth of field ranging from 3 to 100 mm ensures a detailed exploration of internal structures.

The OSF-2 insertion tube is carefully designed to provide optimal performance during gastrointestinal examinations. With an outer diameter of 12.8 mm at the distal end and an overall outer diameter of 12.2 mm, this flexible sigmoidoscope provides a perfect balance between maneuverability and stability. This precise design allows healthcare professionals to precisely navigate through the intestinal tract, ensuring precise positioning for detailed examinations.

The 600mm working length provides sufficient reach to reach targeted areas of the large intestine with precision, without compromising patient comfort. This exceptional maneuverability allows doctors to view and explore internal structures with ease, improving the efficiency and accuracy of examinations.

Additionally, the internal instrument channel, with a diameter of 3.2 mm, offers the possibility of introducing additional medical instruments as needed. This feature allows additional procedures, such as tissue sampling or therapeutic interventions, to be performed without the need for additional equipment, simplifying the process and optimizing the use of the device.

By combining a precise insertion tube, optimal working length and a versatile instrument channel, the OSF-2 offers a complete solution for high-quality gastrointestinal examinations, meeting the varied needs of healthcare professionals and ensuring patient comfort and safety.

The bending section of the OSF-2 is also noteworthy, offering an impressive angulation range. With bending up and down of 180 degrees and right and left of 160 degrees, this feature ensures comprehensive and precise exploration of the large intestine. The total length of the device, amounting to 920 mm, ensures adequate reach throughout the procedure, guaranteeing thorough and exhaustive exploration.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy, of which the OSF-2 is a leading representative, is a method used by doctors to examine the last third of the large intestine, including the rectum and sigmoid colon. This procedure, usually performed in the surgeon's office or a procedure room, can also take place in a hospital. The flexible sigmoidoscope, a flexible tube 60 cm long and about the thickness of the little finger, is gently inserted into the anus and moved into the rectum and the lower part of the colon.

The reasons for performing flexible sigmoidoscopy are varied. Often done as part of routine cancer screening for patients over 50, it is also carried out before certain surgical procedures. Additionally, flexible sigmoidoscopy is used to evaluate the causes of symptoms such as diarrhea, bleeding, colitis, changes in bowel habits, or changes in stool form or color. It also serves as a screening tool for patients with a family history of colorectal cancer.

Symptoms indicating the need for sigmoidoscopy include rectal bleeding, feeling faint, shortness of breath, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, cramps, abdominal pain, fever, chills, severe headache, and muscle aches.

The Olympus OSF-2 distinguishes itself with its versatility, serving as an essential tool for healthcare professionals. It offers high-quality visualization, exceptional maneuverability, and the ability to introduce additional medical instruments as needed. With its advanced specifications and innovative design, the OSF-2 embodies Olympus's continued commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical technology to ensure quality care and accurate diagnostics.
