Olympus Showcases New GI Solutions at DDW

LOS ANGELES -- Olympus today showcased a broad range of innovative products and services that enhance observation, efficiency and functionality in gastroenterology. These products and services were presented at Digestive Disease Week, Los Angeles Convention Center, May 20-25.

The MaxPass™ single-use biliary dilation system, a significant addition to Olympus’ V-System™, delivers improved procedural efficiency through effective dilation and rapid balloon deflation.

Olympus has refined mechanical lithotripsy with the introduction of the LithoCrushV™. The handle and basket of this new EndoTherapy device have been designed to quickly connect, cannulate and crush biliary stones.

The single-use SolarProbe™ provides bipolar hemostasis for even coagulation and minimized tissue adhesion. Made from silver to provide greater conductivity than other metals, the probe is bullet-tipped to maintain even surface contact and balanced coagulation.

Olympus’ new n-Stream Dual Channel Video Management System is ideally suited to the demands of surgical and clinical workflow. Among other features, n-Stream offers simultaneous recording and picture-in-picture viewing of two video sources, as well as annotation, jumpback, variable speed playback and an intelligent continuous logging option.

The EVIS EXERA II 180 series delivers both high-definition (HDTV) and Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI) technologies, providing enhanced observation capabilities, as well as improved efficiency and patient turn-around time.

The Olympus GF-UE160-AL5 is the world’s first gastrovideoscope featuring 360-degree electronic radial scanning.

EndoWorks is a web-based information management solution that spans all stages of patient care to increase facility productivity while reducing costs for healthcare facilities.

In addition to displaying a broad array of products and services, Olympus’ newly designed booth includes an interactive educational GI Procedure Suite and lecture forum.
