GF-UCT140-AL5: A High-Performance Ultrasound Endoscope
The Olympus GF-UCT140-AL5 represents the future of ultrasound endoscopy, combining Olympus' cutting-edge endoscopic optics technology with Aloka's ultrasound imaging technology. This device is designed to maximise the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of healthcare professionals, offering unrivalled precision and flexibility in endoscopic procedures.
One of the most notable features of the GF-UCT140-AL5 is its ability to provide high-resolution ultrasound images. Thanks to a convex electronic scanning transducer, the device allows the use of imaging techniques such as colour Doppler and power Doppler. These technologies facilitate the interpretation of blood flow conditions, offering additional performance with adjustable electronic focus and multi-frequency imaging capability.
The GF-UCT140-AL5 is designed for easy insertion and optimal manoeuvrability. The tight radius of the convex array transducer significantly improves insertion capabilities, while the wide 180° scanning angle ensures comprehensive imaging of all structures surrounding the area of interest. In addition, Olympus' patented clip elevator design allows fine adjustment of the needle position once the endoscope position is fixed, improving needle placement during FNA.
One of the major advantages of the GF-UCT140-AL5 is its 3.7 mm diameter channel. This large diameter channel allows the use of suction needles larger than 22 G, providing greater flexibility and precision in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This feature is particularly useful for complex procedures requiring extreme precision.
The GF-UCT140-AL5 is ideal for a variety of clinical applications, including fine needle aspiration (FNA) for pancreatic cysts, gastric varices, pancreatic pseudocysts, and subcarinal lymph nodes. The device is also effective for pancreatic cyst drainage and imaging of gallbladder cancer. The GF-UCT140-AL5 is a valuable tool for healthcare professionals seeking to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their endoscopic procedures.
The Olympus GF-UCT140-AL5 is a state-of-the-art ultrasound endoscope that offers high-quality imaging, exceptional manoeuvrability, and superior therapeutic capabilities. With its large-diameter channel and advanced imaging technologies, it is ideal for accurate diagnostics and therapeutic procedures in the digestive tract. This device is an excellent choice for healthcare professionals seeking to maximise their diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
