The Broncoflex® was designed to address the current needs and challenges facing hospitals associated with the use of flexible bronchoscopes. Bronchoscopes are now essential pieces of equipment, used by different medical specialists for a broad variety of clinical indications.
UNIQUE BY NATURE,
DIFFERENT BY DESIGN
The Broncoflex® addresses technical and clinical challenges thanks to a significant innovation: it incorporates a 2.8 mm working channel within an endoscope with a small external diameter of 5.6 mm. This innovation offers users a wide working channel, reducing constraints in terms of compatibility with endotracheal tubes, while facilitating navigation in the distal bronchi.
TWO SIZES,
MORE OPTIONS,
LESS EXPENSE.
The successful miniaturisation of our systems allows us to offer just two endocope references, where three are usually required with standard single-use flexible bronchoscopes. These two references are sufficient to cover all flexible bronchoscopy therapeutic indications.
Much more than a simple touch screen, the viewing system
incorporates an algorithm that ensures the display of a
high definition image, even for a single-use device.
The Screeni® offers a coherent system: it has been conceived
and designed to simplify its use, with unparalleled ease of
management and implementation.
The system is mobile and lightweight so that it can be
easily used in often small spaces.
The precise, flexible deflection mechanism enables up and down distal angulation of more than 200°. The high resistance of the system maintains good angulation, even when an instrument is inserted into the working channel.
The unique profile of the distal tip, with its wide opening, helps facilitate the suction of secretions and fluids. The wide working channel of the Broncoflex® Vortex further boosts its suction performance.
The whole system, from the camera to the visualisation platform, contributes to the display of a high-definition image with, in particular, an algorithm specially developed for detailed contours. Brightness management enables good near and distal vision.
• The Screeni® is equipped with a quickconnect bracket enabling the system to be attached to an IV pole. The system’s power cable can be wound around the tightening screw knob during transport.
• The monitor can be detached from its mounting bracket in just a few seconds to be placed on a trolley.
• Agile and Vortex endoscopes can be suspended on the Screeni® support feet. They are easy to identify thanks to their coloured ring and are always ready to use.
With our calculator, make an evaluation of the cost-saving aspects of converting to single-use endoscopes in your hospital.
ALWAYS READY
In its sterile packaging, the Broncoflex® can be stored on an emergency trolley ready to be used at any moment.
The Broncoflex® eliminates all the disinfection and maintenance constraints associated with reusable bronchoscopes that often lead to them being unavailable because they are undergoing a disinfection or repair cycle. Learned societies agree that intensive care units need to have access to a bronchoscope to handle unexpected problems during difficult intubations. (4) (5) The Broncoflex® can be easily stored in its sterile packaging and is always ready to use, in all circumstances and at any time.
ALWAYS STERILE
Having access to a sterile bronchoscope in all circumstances reduces the risk of cross-contamination for patients and generates savings associated with any treatment and care.
The risk of cross-contamination related to inadequate disinfection of a reusable endoscope during cleaning, rinsing, leak testing or drying phases is well documented in the literature.(6) The design of the devices makes reprocessing complicated and expensive. In fact, following disinfection, a biofilm can still form, particularly when the device has difficult-to-detect micro-cracks.(6) (7)

In anaesthesia, it is recommended having a bronchoscope available in the event of an emergency when managing difficult intubation.
