Access — Localizing the Lesion with Confidence
Getting closer to the periphery with the ultra-thin scope or with a combination of a scope and the GuideSheath.
Access — Localizing the Lesion with Confidence
The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions has been a challenge over the past decades and the range of diagnostic procedures is wide. Bronchoscopy, with a reported pneumothorax rate of only 1.5%, is the least invasive approach to peripheral lesions
1.
As the world leader in endoscopy, Olympus offers a choice of two bronchoscopic sampling solutions: The combination of a scope and the GuideSheath Kit 2 or the new ultrathin BF-MP190F/290F scope.

The New Ultrathin Bronchoscope: BF-MP190F
Supporting Direct Access to the Periphery
The new BF-MP190F ultrathin bronchoscope improves access to deep lung areas, helps approach the lesion, and in combination with the miniature ultrasound probe enables real-time imaging of the surrounding tissue allowing the clinician to determine the lesion's exact location and size.

Access and Efficient Sampling of Lesions
- Accessing lung lesions in the periphery remains a clinical challenge. The exceptional GuideSheath Kit helps to improve diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. Its clinical value has been demonstrated in over 57 clinical publications.
- The GuideSheath is advanced and positioned under X-ray or with ultrasonic guidance at the center of a solitary pulmonary nodule.
- Once positioned at the target site, the GuideSheath acts like an extended working channel, allowing safe and repeated access to the lesion for taking biopsies and cytology-brushing.

Peripheral TBNA Needle PeriView FLEX
While already providing established biopsy forceps and brushes, Olympus has released the new 21G biopsy needle PeriView FLEX compatible with the BF-MP190/290F and the GuideSheath. The needle is expected to help to increase the diagnostic yield in the periphery as well as to improve access to target sites thanks to enhanced needle flexibility.
