Invendo Medical - invendoscope™ SC20
DESCRIPTION
The invendoscopy™ system addresses for the first time the forces applied to the colon wall during colonoscopy and potential hygiene issues.[b]The invendoscope™ SC20 has several features that are new to the field of colonoscopy.[/b] [list] [*] it is a single-use colonoscope with a working channel [*] it is not pushed or pulled, but driven in and out of the colon [*] all endoscopic functions are performed using a handheld device and [*] most important, it reduces potential forces on the colon wall to enable a gentle colonoscopy [/list]

FEATURES
Gentle Highly flexible materials are being used to ensure a small bending diameter of the endoscope. In addition the electrohydraulic deflection mechanism of the endoscope tip obviates the need to use Bowden cables, and thus maintains the flexibility. The combination of these technologies ensures that the forces exerted by the endoscope are reduced. Hygienic Resource-intensive and critical cleaning processes of the endoscope are avoided as the invendoscope is designed for single-use only Easy-to-use All endoscope functions including forward and backward driving, deflection of endoscope tip, rinsing, suction, insufflation and recording of images are controlled via a simple handheld device. This makes performance of colonoscopies ergonomical and supports ease-of-use. Interventional Versatility Due to its 3.1mm working channel the invendoscope SC20 can be also used for biopsies and routine therapeutic procedures such as polypectomy. The centralized working channel with the support of the deflectable electrohydraulic tip allows access to all locations in the colon.
