Diagnostic Sheath, For 30° Scope

Description

A diagnostic sheath, which is intended for use with a 30° angled scope, is a specialist medical device used in minimally invasive treatments.

Purpose:

• Creates a conduit for the 30° scope to reach the desired region of the body.
• Protects the surrounding tissues during scope insertion and manipulation.
• Allows surgical tools to flow more easily throughout the process.

Features:

• Size: Diagnostic sheaths come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 2.9mm to 4mm. The particular size is determined by the method as well as the scope’s operating channel diameter.
• Angled Compatibility: Designed particularly for use with a 30° angled scope. This angulation enables for improved viewing of locations that would be difficult to access from a straight-on perspective.
• Material: Typically manufactured of sterile, biocompatible plastic for safety and simplicity of usage.

Applications:

• Hysteroscopy is the examination and diagnosis of problems within the uterus. The 30° angle provides a better view of the uterine cavity and corners.
• Arthroscopy is a procedure that examines joints such as the knee or shoulder. The angulation allows for easier access to certain parts of the joint.
• Other minimally invasive procedures: Depending on the shape and size, diagnostic sheaths with a 30° angle may be utilized in a variety of additional minimally invasive procedures that benefit from tilted viewing.
