Pentax Medical | Slim Ultrasound Video Endoscope
This ergonomically
engineered scope,
combines the feasi-
bility of Fine Needle
Aspiration (FNA)
with excellent ultra-
sound image quali-
ty, could be your
next workhorse for
everyday ultrasound
endoscopic proce-
dures. The EG-
3270UK may be
among the
slimmest curved
linear echoendo-
scopes available —
maybe the slimmest
— based on the
diameters of the
insertion tube (10.8 mm) and distal end (12 mm). The scope's short-
er, tight-angle bending section and smaller distal end should make
intubations more comfortable for patients having upper GI proce-
dures, while the scope itself should be easier for your physicians to
maneuver and advance. Maneuverability is important, but not if the
visualization suffers. The EG-3270UK delivers reliable, high-resolu-
tion ultrasound imaging supported by elastography and Doppler
technology.
