SmoothShot needles for smoother TBNA

Olympus SmoothShot needles have been optimized to enable pulmonologists to perform Trans Bronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA) procedures as smoothly as possible. The sophisticated design both reduces damage inside the scope channel while ensuring the smoothest possible passage of the needle through the channel.

Outstanding puncture performance and a redesigned handle further enhance operability, while greater versatility is provided by an expanded lineup of needles that can meet your diagnostic needs.

Three types of SmoothShot needles are available:

  • Standard 21G type: NA-401D-1321/-1521
  • Side-hole 21G type: NA-411D-1321/-1521
  • Trocar 19G type: NA-601D-1519

The side-hole type cytology needles allow to draw samples from the side as well as from the tip of the needle for increased amount of sampling material.

The trocar type histology needle is specially designed for a high yield of core tissue and features a two-way safety stop for easy handling and to protect the endoscope channel.

Electrocautery in the bronchus

 

Immediate medical attention is often required in the treatment of tumours obstructing the trachea or the bronchus.
High-frequency broncho electrocautery is a valuable alternative to laser treatment, providing comparable effects at significantly reduced costs.
Several clinical studies confirm the high medical efficacy of broncho electrocautery.
With a range of four different types of Endotherapy devices Olympus offers a complete solution for successful palliative treatment:

  • Spatula knives
  • Coagulation electrodes
  • Diathermic snares
  • Hot biopsy forceps

 

One instrument – two applications:
The FD-6C-1 and the FD-7C-1 hot biopsy forceps allow fast and accurate collection of tissue and efficient resection.

 

 

 

Electrosurgery treatment
This electrosurgical probe is designed for haemostasis through heat-induced coagulation and for gradual cauterisation of a tumour.

 

 

 

Other Key Products

Mini Devices
Designed for a minimum channel diameter of only 1.2mm, the mini Endotherapy devices facilitate bronchoscopic instrumentation in previously difficult to approach peripheral regions. Olympus offers mini grasping forceps and mini biopsy forceps as well as mini cytology brushes.

 

 

 

Cytology Brushes
The range of Olympus brushes covers almost any kind of diagnostic cell sampling need, focusing on cost-effectiveness, reliability and a high efficiency of bronchoscopic examinations. Thinner nylon bristles and optimal brush hardness increase the specimen collection.

 

 

 

Broncho - Balloon
Designed for selective broncho-alveolar lavage, the balloon catheter is also highly effective for tamponade haemostasis.

 

 

 

Spray catheter
Olympus offers two disposable spray catheters for spraying pharmaceutical solutions like local anaesthesia or dye.
