Olympus ENDOEYE HD II WA50042A videoscope: a high-definition optical solution for optimal surgical visualisation
The Olympus ENDOEYE HD II WA50042A embodies technological excellence in the field of endoscopic visualisation. Designed for healthcare professionals seeking greater precision, this 10 mm rigid videoscope offers exceptional high-definition imaging thanks to its chip-on-the-tip technology, which places the sensor directly at the distal end of the device. This revolutionary design eliminates the usual optical distortions and provides natural colour reproduction, optimal illumination and enhanced contrast, making it easier to identify anatomical structures in minute detail.
One of the key advantages of the WA50042A is its extended depth of field of 21 to 200 mm, made possible by a sophisticated optical architecture. This provides the user with a clear image, both in the centre and at the periphery, without the need for manual focusing. This visual comfort increases surgical efficiency while reducing interruptions due to technical adjustments during the procedure.
The integrated anti-fog feature ensures clear vision throughout the surgical procedure, even in environments with high humidity or heat. Combined with its compatibility with modern reprocessing systems — including autoclaving, ETO, STERRAD and washer-disinfectors — this feature ensures optimal hygiene while extending the device's durability.
The WA50042A is also equipped with proprietary Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) technology, which improves the visualisation of vascular tissue and mucosal surfaces. This feature is particularly useful for early detection of abnormalities and precise surgical planning.
Its 90° field of view and 30° viewing direction allow for extensive exploration while maintaining ideal ergonomics. The handle, equipped with three control buttons, facilitates quick access to the system's main functions and improves the user experience. This all-in-one configuration meets the highest performance standards while simplifying the clinical routine.
The Olympus ENDOEYE HD II WA50042A is much more than just a videoscope. It is a complete solution designed for practitioner comfort, patient safety and optimised workflow in the operating theatre. With its ability to produce accurate images in real time, its robustness in the face of modern reconditioning methods, and its cutting-edge embedded technologies, it is a strategic choice for any demanding endoscopic practice.
