PrimeSight with EndoSheath

800-522-6743
Price: Unity 9000 Video Processor ($22,995); CST-5000 flexible digital
cystoscope ($15,950); EndoSheath ($480/box of 10)
FYI: Here's an interesting middle ground: What if you had a reusable
cystoscope that you didn't need to high-level disinfect after each use?
That's what Laborie proposes with the combination of its reusable
PrimeSight flexible cystoscopy system and its single-use EndoSheath
sterile protective barrier, formerly available from its recent acquisi-
tion Cogentix Medical. EndoSheath isn't just a bag or wrapper. Yes, it
covers the scope and its controls from end to end, but it actually has
its own integrated working channel for suction, irrigation and biopsy
tool passage. So you don't need to deal with the difficulty of cleaning
the channel, as you do with other reusable scopes. EndoSheath is
available with 1.5mm and 2.1mm channels, as well as with no chan-
nel at all for quick observations.
