Advancing the Art of Endoscopy.

 Advancing the Art of Endoscopy
with an array of opto-digital innovations.

OLYMPUS technology continues to advance the art of endoscopy.

As the world leader in endoscopy, OLYMPUS provides cutting-edge
medical technology to healthcare professionals around the globe.
Our commitment to research and development and our collaborative
efforts with the medical community work to improve both the underlying
technology and the quality of patient care it helps deliver. It is a
continuous evolution, aimed at advancing the art of endoscopy.

Our latest introduction, the new EVIS EXERA III endoscopy system, is
setting new standards for technologies focusing on:

Advancing Visualization
Advancing Control
Advancing Workflow

These innovative technologies help facilitate more accurate diagnosis

and treatment, simplify setup and reprocessing, improve workflow,
and link patient and department information to the hospital’s information
network through smart technologies with advanced levels of
sophistication and integration.

The art of endoscopy is about finding and treating GI diseases as early as possible. With
the EVIS EXERA III endoscopy system, physicians can see the interior of the body more
clearly than ever before. Refined technology delivers exceptional control of the endoscope
for close-up views of internal tissue while advanced imaging features and renowned
OLYMPUS optics deliver remarkable clarity in every detail.

RIT (Responsive Insertion Technology) ScopeGuide

RIT comes as standard on EVIS EXERA III 190 Series colonoscopes. It is a unique combination of three proprietary ScopeGuide is designed to provide a real-time, three-dimensional image of the shape and configuration of the colonoscope
OLYMPUS technologies: PB (Passive Bending), HFT (High Force Transmission), and variable stiffness*. These technologies during a procedure, and is integrated in the EVIS EXERA III system. The ability to visualize the scope inside the body allows the
work together to improve ease of insertion and operator control, which may help to minimize patient discomfort and enhance physician to see loop formations as they occur for expedited loop management. It can also assist with scope insertion and help

O PB (Passive Bending)
Passive bending
section PB helps EVIS EXERA III 190 Series colonoscopes move through acute
bends in the colon. When the scope meets with resistance, the pressure is
redistributed so that the insertion tube automatically bends to adjust to the
contours of the colon, potentially decreasing patient discomfort and speeding
insertion to the cecum.
