Flexible and Rigid Endoscope
Characteristics
• Delicate, complex,
expensive
• Require special care
and handling
• Access internal
structures/cavities
• Lens system for
image
• Fiberoptic cable for
light
• Internal lumens and
channels
• Insuffulation component
• Suction and irrigation
systems
• Monitors connected
through cable system to
carry signals
