Olympus BF-UC160F-OL8 Ultrasonic Bronchofibroscope
See beyond the airway for precise diagnosis
The Olympus BF-UC160F-OL8 Ultrasonic Bronchofibroscope is a flexible endobronchial ultrasound scope designed for real time airway and lymph node assessment. It combines fiberoptic visualization with integrated ultrasound to support accurate and minimally invasive biopsy procedures.
The Olympus BF-UC160F-OL8 Ultrasonic Bronchofibroscope is developed for advanced respiratory diagnosis, especially in lung cancer staging and mediastinal evaluation. It allows doctors to examine the inside of the airways while also viewing structures beyond the bronchial wall using ultrasound technology.
This scope is equipped with a convex ultrasound transducer at its distal tip. It provides real time imaging of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. With ultrasound guidance, physicians can perform transbronchial needle aspiration procedures with improved accuracy.
The flexible insertion tube supports smooth airway navigation. The working channel allows the passage of compatible biopsy needles and other accessories. The ergonomic control section enables precise angulation and stable handling during complex procedures.
It is commonly used in pulmonology departments, oncology units, and tertiary care hospitals for diagnostic and staging purposes.
- Minimally invasive alternative to surgical staging
- Improves biopsy accuracy with real time imaging
- Enhances early detection of lung cancer spread
- Reduces need for open surgical procedures
- Supports confident clinical decision making
