PENTAX is releasing in the U.S. and Canada its i10 ****** HD+ line of endoscopes. The devices provide a high-definition look into the colon and upper GI tract with an “Effective Field of View” of 140 degrees. There’s also a macro-like feature that lets you bring the lens as close as 2mm to the intestine wall to carefully inspect suspect lesions.
The device has a wider 3.2 mm instrument channel compared to its predecessors and features a forward jet-spray coupled with improved suction. The controls have been redesigned and the operating handle made lighter to reduce physician fatigue.
