OLYMPUS GF-UCT180 Linear Scanning Ultrasound Endoscope

The GF-UCT180 features a newly developed curved linear array transducer that delivers higher-quality ultrasound images with greater imaging depth in B-mode. Its redesigned forceps elevator gives more reliable control over devices passed through the instrument channel, while the slim 12.6 mm insertion tube ensures smooth insertion and increased penetration depth.

Key Benefits:

• Echoendoscope for therapeutic applications : With a large 3.7 mm biopsy channel, the UCT 180 scope can be utilised to perform a huge variety of therapeutic and FNA applications, such as pancreatic pseudocyst drainage or celiac plexus neurolisis.
• Increased penetration depth : Gaining more information even from deeper tissue layers.
• 180° ultrasonic view : The widest field of view ever available in a echoendoscope enables viewing of peripheral areas and behind folds, potentially decreasing the miss-rate and improving orientation
• High resolution ultrasound imaging : High resolution B-mode imaging allows the most precise endoscopic ultrasound examinations ever.
• Ready for contrast harmonic echo (CH-EUS) : Display of micro-vascular structures to characterize suspicious tissue findings.
• Maximum patient safety because of the round transducer design : Round transducer design enabling careful insertion of the echoendoscope and reducing the risk of tissue perforations.
• Detachable cable : Easy scope handling and quicker cleaning procedures

Product Detail :

• High quality of the B-mode images : Allows the most precise tumour staging ever.
• Increased penetration depth : Via the slim, 12.6 mm insertion tube.
• High quality video image : Dramatically improved image quality enhances diagnostic capability, enabling the accurate rendering of minute capillaries and mucosal structures throughout the screen area.
• Ready for contrast harmonic echo (CH-EUS) : Display of micro-vascular structures to characterize suspicious tissue findings.
• Ready for Narrow Band Imaging TM (NBI) : Provides strong advantages over digital filtering methods, enhancing the visibility of capillaries and other minuscule structures on the mucosal surface.
• Redesigned forceps elevator : The GF-UCT180 features a redesigned forceps elevator that gives you more reliable control over devices passed through the 3.7 mm diameter instrument channel.
• Detachable cable for easy storage and cleaning : A detachable ultrasound cable design makes the GF-UCT180 easier to handle, reprocess and store and provides it with the flexibility to connect to different ultrasound platforms. Compatible with Hitachi Aloka Alpha7, Alpha10 and Olympus EU-ME2 : Enables you to connect to a wide choice of ultrasound centres.
• Maximum patient safety because of the round transducer design : Round transducer design enabling careful insertion of the echoendoscope and reducing the risk of tissue perforations.
• 180° ultrasonic view (vs 130° of nearest competitor) : The widest field of view ever available in a echoendoscope enables viewing of peripheral areas and behind folds, potentially decreasing the miss-rate and improving orientation.
• Curved Linear Array - Echoendoscope : Includes support for the Contrast Harmonic Echo (in combination with the Hitachi Aloka ProSound α7 and α10), which can be helpful in assessing suspicious pancreatic masses or lymph nodes.
