CF-Q180AL: High Performance and Panoramic Vision – The Choice for the Demanding Practitioner
The Olympus CF-Q180AL is a high-performance video colonoscope engineered to optimize colon examinations by combining exceptional image quality, ergonomic design, and functionality. With its 170° wide field of view, this model offers panoramic visualization, making it easier to quickly identify abnormalities, even those hidden behind mucosal folds. This enhanced view allows for smoother navigation and significantly reduces procedure time, improving both patient comfort and clinical efficiency.
This colonoscope features high-resolution imaging technology that accurately reproduces mucosal textures and capillary vascularization. The large-format display, combined with outstanding image clarity, facilitates early lesion detection and enhances diagnostic precision. Additionally, the independent auxiliary water jet—activated via the control handle or footswitch—enables quick removal of debris and mucus, ensuring a consistently clear field of view.
A major highlight of the CF-Q180AL is Olympus’ exclusive Variable Stiffness technology. This feature allows the insertion tube’s flexibility to be adjusted according to patient anatomy by simply rotating a ring located beneath the control section. This adaptability ensures a more intuitive and less uncomfortable insertion, even in anatomically challenging cases, offering a clear advantage for both experienced endoscopists and trainees.
With a generous 3.7 mm instrument channel, the CF-Q180AL supports a wide range of endo-therapeutic accessories while maintaining powerful suction capabilities. It is fully compatible with Olympus CV-160 and CV-140 video processors and includes an internal memory chip for scope data storage, streamlining equipment management in endoscopy units.
Its extended 1680 mm working length makes it the preferred tool for deep colon explorations. The ergonomic design—engineered for optimal handling—combined with accessible controls and programmable buttons, makes the CF-Q180AL both user-friendly and high-performing. It stands out as a reliable and sophisticated ally for demanding endoscopic procedures, merging cutting-edge technology with clinical precision.
