Diagnostic Bronchoscopy in Larger Airways
The Olympus BF-TE2 anchors diagnostic bronchoscopy in the larger airways across hospital pulmonology departments and dedicated bronchoscopy suites. The 5.9 mm insertion tube, 120° field of view, and 130° downward angulation support comprehensive examination of the trachea, main carina, and lobar bronchi across pulmonary diagnostic services worldwide today during routine clinical practice in busy programmes.
Interventional Bronchoscopy
Interventional bronchoscopy benefits substantially from the BF-TE2's wide 2.8 mm therapeutic working channel that accommodates a full range of endoscopic accessories. Biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, suction catheters, and therapeutic devices support tissue sampling, brushings, washings, and minor therapeutic interventions across hospital pulmonology services and interventional bronchoscopy programmes today.
ICU Bedside Bronchoscopy
ICU bedside bronchoscopy benefits from the BF-TE2's compatibility with all Olympus light sources, ergonomic left-hand control, 600 mm extended working length, and wide therapeutic channel. The platform supports critically ill patient bronchoscopy at bedside including secretion clearance, suspected pneumonia evaluation, and atelectasis management across hospital ICU services worldwide today.
Tissue Sampling and Biopsy
Tissue sampling and biopsy benefit from the BF-TE2's 2.8 mm working channel accommodating standard biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, and washing accessories. Endobronchial biopsy, transbronchial biopsy, and bronchial brushings support diagnosis of suspicious lung nodules, infiltrates, and endobronchial lesions across hospital pulmonology and oncology services worldwide.
Fluid Aspiration and Bronchial Lavage
Fluid aspiration and bronchial lavage benefit from the BF-TE2's wide 2.8 mm channel supporting efficient fluid removal from the bronchial tree. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), secretion clearance, mucus plug removal, and sample collection support diagnosis of infection, inflammation, and interstitial lung disease across pulmonary and infectious disease services worldwide today.
