Olympus, a global medical technology company, has announced the introduction of two state-of-the-art bronchoscopes as integral components of the EVIS X1 Endoscopy System. 

Representing the pinnacle of diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy technology, the EVIS X1 Endoscopy System by Olympus promises cutting-edge advancements in the field.

Engineered with high-definition imaging capabilities, the newly launched bronchoscopes boast a slender outer diameter compared to their predecessors, facilitating access to more distal airways. Enhanced suction and flexibility during procedures, coupled with spacious working channels capable of accommodating a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic devices, empower physicians to navigate the tracheal bronchial tree with precision and efficacy.

Olympus will showcase these groundbreaking bronchoscopes during the upcoming American Thoracic Society (ATS) annual meeting scheduled from May 17 to 22 in San Diego.

Key features of the diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopes include a compact outer diameter and large working channels, alongside enhanced imaging and handling capabilities:

Complementing these advancements, the EVIS X1 Endoscopy System integrates a suite of cutting-edge imaging technologies, including- Brightness Adjustment Imaging with Maintenance of Contrast (BAI-MAC™) technology, Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI™) technology, Red Dichromatic Imaging (RDI™) technology and Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI™) technology.

Swarna Alcorn, Business Unit Vice President, Respiratory, Olympus Corp. of the Americas, expressed enthusiasm for the launch, emphasizing Olympus' commitment to providing physicians with cutting-edge tools to enhance patient care. "We are excited to launch diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopes supported by our most advanced endoscopy system. Pulmonologists will have the confidence to expand their reach with bronchoscopes that combine a slim outer diameter, a large working channel and improved imaging," said Alcorn.

The EVIS X1 endoscopy system, equipped with advanced bronchoscopes, offers pulmonologists confidence and capability in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions.
