See beyond the airway with confidence
The Olympus Bronchoscope BF-UC190F is an advanced endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope designed for real time imaging and guided needle aspiration of lymph nodes and lung lesions. It combines high quality video imaging with ultrasound technology for accurate diagnosis and staging.
The Olympus Bronchoscope BF-UC190F is a linear endobronchial ultrasound scope used for diagnostic and interventional pulmonology procedures. It allows physicians to visualize airway structures with video imaging while simultaneously performing ultrasound scanning of tissues beyond the bronchial wall.
This bronchoscope is mainly used for EBUS TBNA procedures, where ultrasound guidance helps in sampling mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. The integrated ultrasound transducer at the distal tip provides clear real time images, helping clinicians locate lesions and guide biopsy needles safely.
The scope offers smooth angulation and precise control for better navigation within the bronchial tree. Its working channel is designed to support dedicated aspiration needles and accessories. The improved imaging quality enhances lesion detection and supports accurate lung cancer staging.
The BF-UC190F is widely used in tertiary hospitals, cancer centers, and advanced pulmonary units for minimally invasive diagnosis and staging of thoracic diseases.
• Lung cancer diagnosis and staging
• Evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes
• Assessment of thoracic masses
• Sampling of hilar and paratracheal nodes
• Investigation of unexplained lymphadenopathy
• Minimally invasive diagnostic approach
• Real time needle guidance improves safety
• Accurate staging of lung cancer
• Reduced need for surgical biopsy
• Clear visualization of airway and surrounding tissue
1. What is the Olympus Bronchoscope BF-UC190F used for
It is used for endobronchial ultrasound procedures and guided needle aspiration of lymph nodes and lung lesions.
2. What does EBUS mean
EBUS stands for endobronchial ultrasound, a technique that combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound imaging.
3. Is this scope used for lung cancer staging
Yes, it is commonly used to stage lung cancer by sampling mediastinal lymph nodes.
4. Does it provide real time imaging
Yes, it provides both video and ultrasound imaging in real time.
5. Is the procedure minimally invasive
Yes, EBUS procedures are minimally invasive compared to surgical biopsy.
