Pentax Medical | i10 Series HD+ Endoscopes
Also in the category of scope innovations, Pentax Medical has introduced a new line of
colonoscopy and EGD scopes, each type available in standard and slim sizes. The 140-
degree field of view, high-definition scopes incorporate megapixel resolution CCD
chips, which capture images consisting of more than 1 million pixels for image clarity
and fine detail.
The instrument channels on the standard EGD scope and the slim colonoscope are
larger than in previous versions of these scopes, lending us more therapeutic capability
in their use. The 3.2 mm channel in the gastroscope and 3.8 mm channel in the colono-
scope allow us to use larger forceps and other accessories, and more suction power.
In addition, the control body of the i10 series scopes has been redesigned for
improved ergonomic comfort. The company says it'll fit in your physicians' hands better.
It's 30 g lighter than Pentax's 90i series predecessor, with angulation knobs that make
one-handed control easier and repositioned buttons for more intuitive operation. The i10
series scopes list at $31,000.
