Devices for Peripheral Procedures

Olympus offers a wide range of diverse endobronchial devices to access and sample solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) in the peripheral lung area. These procedures are safe, minimally invasive and cost-effective techniques in comparison to percutanous or surgical sampling methods.
All devices are perfectly visible under fluoroscopy and allow excellent guidance of the devices to the target area. In order to quickly and efficiently obtain tissue from the lesion, Olympus TBNA needles offer high flexibility in manoeuvring the scope. Due to its optimal force transmission, the needles produce superior puncture performance.
The guide sheath technique allows a fast and repeated access to the peripheral lesion for multiple samplings with either biopsy forceps, cytology brush or TBNA needles. An optional guiding device helps to navigate the guide sheath into the target area at difficult bifurcations.
