Olympus | EVIS EXERA III HD Video Bronchoscope | Used

The Olympus BF-1TH190 is a high-performance, therapeutic video bronchoscope engineered to deliver exceptional high-definition (HD) visualization within the complex anatomy of the tracheobronchial tree. Operating as a flagship endoscopic instrument within the EVIS EXERA III platform matrix, this advanced scope features a wide 3.0 mm internal working channel housed inside a slim 6.2 mm outer insertion tube diameter. This design provides an optimal mechanical balance, allowing for the effortless introduction of heavy therapeutic tools--such as biopsy forceps, laser fibers, electrocautery probes, and cryo-ablation catheters--while simultaneously maintaining strong suction capability and crisp fluid management control.

The system incorporates a highly responsive, miniature CCD chip embedded in the distal tip to generate true HDTV-quality images, significantly reducing visual noise and artifacts. Paired with Olympus's proprietary Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) technology, the BF-1TH190 enhances the optical contrast of surface mucosal capillaries and sub-surface vascular networks without tissue staining. This capability allows interventional pulmonologists to locate, boundary, and target early-stage micro-malignancies, suspicious lesions, and precise biopsy sites with high clinical accuracy.
