"We estimate that 45 percent of endoscope damage that we see occurs at the distal tip. This is one of the most crucial parts of an endoscope," said Kurt Heine, Group Vice President at Olympus America, Inc. "Optics are the hallmark of any endoscope, and we have spent 65-plus years perfecting ours to help physicians see the most minute details. Our goal is to be true to patient care, making sure that scopes are spared repair downtime and kept inside procedure rooms, where they do their best work."
Olympus Scope Pro-tech endoscopic tip protector will be showcased May 18-21 at Olympus Booth #1443 at Digestive Disease Week 2019 in San Diego, CA.
