Minimally invasive endoscopic diagnostics appearance is a real breakthrough in medical branch development. Flexible endoscopy machines facilitate internal organs careful examination and allow tracking pathologies development dynamics. Endoscopy increases treatment efficiency for many diseases.
Fiberoptic endoscopy equipment appearance has contributed a lot to modern medicine development. It helps very much to recognize diseases at the initial stages. This kind of medical equipment has drastically changed the approach to conducting surgeries. Surgical intervention can now be performed using a minimally invasive method which is much safer than traditional surgical procedures.
When resorting to endoscopy procedures, doctors no longer have to necessarily make deep incisions. Every medical instrument can be inserted into the human body through natural openings. This has become very useful for:
Only while conducting laparoscopy with video laparoscopes, surgeons need to resort to small incisions on the skin to perform the procedure. Microendoscopy is also used for target biopsy, foreign objects evacuation, bleeding vessels coagulation, medication delivery, and tumor mass excision.
Endoscopic equipment utilization helps significantly reduce the risk of post-surgery complications, shorten rehabilitation time, and minimize tissue damage.
There are two main categories of endoscopes according to their design features:
To make the right choice, it is important to clearly understand what the device will be used for. It is necessary to determine the manipulation types which are planned to be conducted – diagnostic or therapeutic, as well as body regions meant to be examined.
So, what do you have to pay attention to when buying an endoscope?
The prices of some systems can be as low as 100 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 40.000 USD.
The manufacturer plays a crucial role in making up the price. The more famous the brand the more expensive the machine, as the brand name itself says a lot about the quality and longevity. STRYKER,Pentax,OLYMPUS, KARL-STORZ, FUJIFILM are considered to be the most well-known. Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used ones. What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops)
