Available in straight and angled-tip versions, the newly launched
Acrobat 2 helps clinicians negotiate the pancreaticobiliary anato-
my for even the most challenging ERCP procedures. Hallmark
features: a platinum spring-coil tip — designed to be gentle on
delicate tissue — which serves as a landmark during fluoroscop-
ic visualization; a 5.8 cm hydrophilic coating to reduce friction as
it advances through the patient's anatomy; and a thicker core
that makes it resistant to kinking and, as a result, improves
"pushability." The Acrobat 2, which can also be used during
sphincterotomy, is available in diameters of 0.025 and 0.035
inches and lengths of 205 cm, 260 cm and 450 cm.
Optimal Endoscopic Imaging
Fujifilm's latest
endoscopic ultra-
sonic processors,
under the Sonart
SU-1 banner,
offer next-gener-
ation imaging in a
compact foot-
print. Available in 2 models, the SU-1 and the SU1 Platinum,
these processors let you visualize surrounding anatomical struc-
tures — "seeing beyond the wall and through the wall," as a
company rep describes it — to aid in diagnosis and treatment.
The SU-1 is all about options. Imaging modes include the use of
harmonic imaging, which reduces "noise" and enhances fields of
tissue both near and far; Color Doppler, a hemodynamic view
that highlights blood flow in a specific observation site; and elas-
