The bladder visual examination without surgical intervention became possible due to the invention of a cystoscope – unique endoscopic equipment which has brought the diagnostics to a whole new level.
A cystoscope is inserted through the urethra, and that is how it helps to avoid skin incisions, scars and, blood loss.
A cystoscope can be used as:
With its help, doctors have an opportunity to reveal tumors and their exact location, identify bleeding causes, and pinpoint a suppuration location.
The medical device functions allow removing foreign objects from the urethra or bladder. Cystoscopy (a cystoscope utilization technique) is widely used to treat urinary and kidney diseases.
The device design looks as follows:
A powerful halogen lamp is connected to the device, and its light is transmitted over the optical fiber straight to the camera lens on the flexible tube end. The built-in optical system allows doctors to examine the urethral walls and bladder. Maneuvering is carried out using special knobs on the handle. If necessary, endoscopic instruments are inserted through the cystoscope instrument channel, for example, biopsy forceps.
The prices of some systems can be as low as 200 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 4.000 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.OLYMPUS,STORZ ,GYRUS ACMI,CIRCON ACMI, GENITO, RICHARD WOLF 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 cystoscope 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)
