Olympus A2911 Endoscopy Sheath and A0403 Obturator 17 Fr

Olympus Rigid Endoscopy Set | 17 Fr Sheath & Obturator | A2911 & A0403 | Reusable

This Olympus Endoscopic Access Set is a clinical-standard combination designed for diagnostic and therapeutic cystoscopy. The set includes the A2911 17 Fr Sheath and the matching A0403 Standard Obturator. The 17 Fr diameter is widely regarded as the ideal "mid-range" size, offering a slim enough profile for patient comfort during atraumatic insertion while providing a sufficiently large working channel for auxiliary instruments like biopsy forceps or stents.

Constructed from high-grade, medical stainless steel, this set features a dual-stopcock configuration on the sheath, allowing for high-volume continuous irrigation and controlled outflow to maintain a clear visual field during procedural work.

Key Specifications

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• 17 Fr Low-Profile Access: The 17 Fr gauge minimizes urethral trauma during entry, making it an excellent choice for both male and female patients where diagnostic clarity is required without the bulk of larger resection sheaths.

• Dual-Stopcock Fluid Management: The integrated stopcocks provide the clinician with precise control over intra-bladder pressure and clarity. This is essential for rinsing away blood or debris that could otherwise obscure the view through the telescope.

• Perfect-Fit Obturator: The A0403 obturator is precision-machined to match the A2911 sheath, creating a smooth, rounded distal transition that pushes tissue aside rather than cutting it during insertion.

• Universal Olympus Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with Olympus 4mm telescopes (0°, 12°, 30°, and 70°). The quick-lock mechanism ensures a rigid, leak-proof seal during the entire procedure.

• High-Durability Stainless Steel: Forged to withstand hundreds of high-heat autoclave cycles, the stainless steel body resists pitting and maintains its micro-polished finish for smooth passage through the urethral tract.

Applications

• Diagnostic Cystoscopy: Visual assessment of the bladder wall, ureteral orifices, and urethra.

• Therapeutic Access: Serving as a primary conduit for stent placement, foreign body removal, and retrograde pyelograms.

• Ureteral Access Support: Providing a stable platform for the introduction of guidewires and ureteroscopes.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument set shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs consistent with standard tray storage and autoclaving), but it remains fully functional. The stopcocks rotate fluidly with no leaks, the locking mechanism is secure, and the sheath lumen is perfectly clear.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical endoscopy and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all Olympus rigid instrumentation is function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective, padded packaging to ensure the long-axis alignment of the sheath and the distal tip of the obturator remain in factory-standard condition during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
