Introducing aScope 5 Broncho
10 reasons you'll want aScope 5 Broncho in your bronchoscopy suite
It will enable you to:
1. Smoothly navigate the bronchial segments with up and down bending angles of 195°/195° (5.6/2.8 and 5.0/2.2) and 210°/210° (4.2/2.2 and 2.7/1.2)
The combination of the bending angles, distal tip angulation range and the flexibility of the insertion tube is designed to help you access difficult-to-reach areas in the bronchial tree, not least when working with an endotherapy instrument.
2. Use the instruments you need in the bronchoscopy suite
aScope 5 Broncho is designed for use with the diagnostic and therapeutic endotherapy instruments commonly used in the bronchoscopy suite, such as biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, biopsy needles, cryoprobes and high-frequency tools*.
*High-frequency tool compatibility for 5.6/2.8 and 5.0/2.2
3. Easily manoeuver with 120° left/right rotation
The rotation function is designed to make it easy to adjust the position of the distal end of the insertion tube to ease navigation and insertion of endotherapy instruments.
4. Visualize the bronchial tree with next-level imaging
The combination of a high-resolution camera chip* in the bronchoscope and the full-HD Ambu displaying and processing unit delivers a superior image.
*Available in 5.6/2.8 and 5.0/2.2
5. Easily take, review and document images and videos
At the touch of a button on the bronchoscope, you can zoom in and out, capture images and videos and review them post-procedure with patients or colleagues. Furthermore, compatibility with PACS servers and electronic medical record software makes documentation smooth and efficient.
6. Stop worrying about leak tests
With the single-use aScope 5 Broncho solution, you get a new scope for every patient. That means there are no concerns about causing damage to aScope 5 Broncho with sharp or active endotherapy instruments and no concerns about failed leak tests.
7. Start or expand bronchoscopy services with minimal capital investment
Freeing up costs and resources paves the way for your hospital to use the freed-up resources for other important tasks. With the aScope 5 Broncho solution, the only item needed to increase capacity is an additional displaying and processing unit.
8. Free up costs and resources
aScope 5 Broncho reduces the time and resources spent on cleaning. In fact, it completely eliminates the need for reprocessing. In addition, the cost and effort of maintenance and repairs, service contracts, and resources spent on transportation, administration, training and cleaning supplies are removed.
9. Get access to a variety of sizes whenever you need them
aScope 5 can save you from the inefficiency and bother of cancellations and rescheduling.
10. Eliminate the risk of patient-to-patient cross-contamination
The availability of a sterile single-use bronchoscope could be especially relevant in reducing the risk of infection transmission among immunosuppressed pulmonary patient populations.

Single-use bronchoscopy and the environment
Single-use impact equal to or less than reusable
Single-use eliminates a long list of materials used for reprocessing, such as chemicals, water, containers and personal protective equipment. In fact, as the graph below shows, the environmental impact of single-use bronchoscopy is equal to or less than that of reusable.
