Flexible scopes

ENDOEYE™

EndoEYE LTF-VP 5-10 mm, 0o digital scope Deflectable tip (100o angulation) Integrated light and camera CCD chip on the tip

EndoEYE LS 5 mm, 30o digital scope control section can be bent by as much as 90o Integrated light and camera CCD chip on the tip

Flexible scopes

Ideal EYES™ HD

10mm Friction assist brake Integrated light cable Over 100° of flexion in all

directions

A new idea

ENDOCAmeleon™ 10mm camera chip rotating within the tip

eliminating the need for the plastic casing while still giving surgeons the multi-directional view they need to operate
