The Olympus BF-UC180F is a next-generation video EBUS bronchoscope from Olympus Medical Systems, engineered for hospital interventional pulmonology, lung cancer staging programmes, thoracic oncology services, mediastinal sampling, dedicated EBUS suites, and tertiary thoracic referral centres. Part of the EVIS EXERA II platform, the BF-UC180F advances EBUS-TBNA capability with video-based imaging, a uniquely designed shorter distal rigid tip, and a larger 2.2 mm working channel — supporting improved access to difficult-to-reach nodal stations and smaller lymph nodes worldwide today.

The uniquely designed shorter distal rigid tip is the defining BF-UC180F capability. Optimal angulation achieved by the shorter rigid tip enables improved approach to difficult-to-reach nodal stations such as 4L and 10R that challenge conventional EBUS bronchoscopes. The advanced real-time technology allows more direct, accurate, and efficient sampling with better access to more nodal stations and smaller lymph nodes ≥5 mm, supporting comprehensive mediastinal staging across thoracic oncology services worldwide today during routine practice.

The larger 2.2 mm instrument channel is a defining BF-UC180F improvement over previous EBUS bronchoscopes. The wider channel supports improved suction performance, smoother device insertion, and compatibility with the full Olympus needle portfolio including the ViziShot 2 EBUS-TBNA needle and ViziShot FLEX 19 Gauge needle. High-resolution real-time ultrasound imaging enables direct visualisation of the needle as it penetrates the lymph node, supporting optimal capsule-to-capsule sampling technique for superior tissue collection across staging programmes.

The 6.2 mm insertion tube outer diameter and 6.3 mm distal end OD with 600 mm working length support reliable airway navigation. Forward-oblique direction of view, 80° optical field of view, 120° UP / 90° DOWN angulation, video imaging, EU-ME2 ultrasound processor compatibility, multiple ultrasound frequency support, and broad accessory compatibility (MAJ-1414 single-use biopsy valve, MAJ-209 single-use suction valve, MAJ-222 cleaning adapter) support comprehensive EBUS-TBNA workflow across hospital and thoracic services worldwide today.

Mediastinal Lymph Node Staging

The Olympus BF-UC180F anchors mediastinal lymph node staging across hospital interventional pulmonology, thoracic surgery, and lung cancer programmes. The shorter distal rigid tip enables access to difficult-to-reach nodal stations like 4L and 10R, while the 2.2 mm channel, ViziShot 2 needle, and real-time ultrasound support comprehensive EBUS-TBNA staging across thoracic oncology services worldwide today during routine practice.

Lung Cancer Staging

Lung cancer staging benefits substantially from the BF-UC180F's improved access to challenging nodal stations and smaller lymph nodes ≥5 mm. Real-time ultrasound-guided sampling supports N-stage assessment, treatment planning, surgical candidacy evaluation, and oncologic decision-making across thoracic oncology multidisciplinary services and dedicated lung cancer programmes worldwide today during routine clinical practice.

Difficult Nodal Station Access

Difficult nodal station access benefits from the BF-UC180F's uniquely designed shorter distal rigid tip. Stations 4L and 10R — historically challenging for conventional EBUS bronchoscopes — become accessible, supporting comprehensive mediastinal mapping, complete staging workups, and improved diagnostic yield across hospital interventional pulmonology and thoracic services worldwide today during routine clinical practice.

Mediastinal Lesion Biopsy

Mediastinal lesion biopsy benefits from the BF-UC180F's larger 2.2 mm channel and ViziShot 2 needle compatibility.
