Endoscopy Equipment For Sale

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.

Where Endoscopy Equipment  are Used?

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:

  • hysteroscopy;
  • gastroscopy (using the Pentax endoscopes );
  • rectoscopy ( using the Olympus colonoscope );
  • cystoscopy;
  • bronchoscopy ( using the Olympus bronchoscope).
  • veterinary endoscopy
  • wireless endoscopes
  • ent endoscopy (inc. ear endoscopes)

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.

Types of Endoscopy Equipment

There are two main categories of endoscopes according to their design features:

  • rigid endoscopes which in their turn are subdivided into two large groups: endoscopes proper which are inserted into the body through natural openings and laparoscopes which are inserted through incisions. Rigid endoscopes look like short metal tubes equipped with an illumination source and a magnifying device. Such endoscopes are widely applied in urology, gynecology, otolaryngology, and general surgery.
  • flexible endoscopes can reach the most distal parts of the human body, this way having an extremely important diagnostic value, especially in gastroenterology, pulmonology, and gynecology. There are two main groups of flexible endoscopes – fiber endoscopes and video endoscopes. Fiber endoscopes are simpler in construction and are mostly used as observational devices. Video endoscopes, equipped with a video camera, a wide instrument channel, as well as water and air supply systems, are ideal devices for surgical manipulations in the examined cavity.

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.

Important Specifications

So, what do you have to pay attention to when buying an endoscope?

  • device dimensional and ergonomic features, since the equipment usability directly depends on them;
  • device resolution and compatibility with modern endoscopic systems affecting the resulting image quality, and consequently, equipment working efficiency;
  • angular field, focus range, and bending angle of the distal end – the features responsible for the direction and field of view;
  • instrument channel compatibility with accessories and its diameter;
  • cleaning compliance and/or the possibility of full immersion in disinfectants.

How Much Does used Endoscopy Equipment Cost?

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)
