The Olympus BF-260 is the flagship general-purpose video bronchoscope of the EVIS LUCERA BF-260 Series from Olympus Medical Systems, engineered for hospital pulmonology departments, intensive care unit bedside bronchoscopy, ambulatory bronchoscopy clinics, bronchoscopy training programmes, and tertiary pulmonary care services. The 260 Series — a fusion of Italian "luce" (light) and English "era" — signifies Olympus' leading-edge opto-digital technology applied to bronchoscopy across diverse pulmonology workflows worldwide today during routine clinical practice in busy settings.

The newly-developed ultra-compact CCD is the defining BF-260 imaging capability. The CCD is so small that it has made it possible to reduce the distal-end outer diameter by a full millimetre compared to the previous BF TYPE 240 model while maintaining the same 2.0 mm channel diameter. Combined with high-resolution conventional white-light imaging, 120° field of view, forward direction of view, and 2-100 mm depth of view, the BF-260 supports comprehensive visualisation of central and peripheral bronchial anatomy.

The 4.9 mm outer diameter delivers a slim profile that supports patient comfort and reduced procedural discomfort during routine bronchoscopy. The 2.0 mm working channel accommodates a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic accessories including biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, suction catheters, BAL accessories, and high-frequency electric current devices. The 180° UP / 130° DOWN angulation, 600 mm working length, and 870 mm total length support manoeuvrability through the tracheobronchial tree across diverse adult bronchoscopy procedures worldwide.

The BF-260 incorporates a built-in memory chip for scope recognition, storing scope information and procedure count and supporting links to the Solemio ENDO Endoscopy Support System for digital image storage and operational history records. Compatible with Olympus CLV-10, CLV-160, CLV-180, CLV-U20, and CLV-U40 light sources, CV-200 and CV-240 video processors, ETD washer/disinfectors, Endoscope Drying Cabinet, and ETO and Plasma sterilisation, the BF-260 integrates seamlessly with hospital pulmonology infrastructure worldwide today.
