Single Balloon Enteroscope System

The “Next” Evolution in Enteroscopy:

The Single Balloon Enteroscope System from Olympus.
Despite the rapid technological advances of the 21st century, enteroscopy continues to prove more difficult
than upper gastrointestinal endoscopy or colonoscopy. Now, thanks to our groundbreaking Single Balloon
Enteroscope System, Olympus has created a simple yet efficient system that radically redefines the nature of
enteroscopy. The new Single Balloon Enteroscope maintains Olympus' signature high quality image,
while offering breakthrough capabilities in terms of operability and functionality that shed a new light on a
region once considered the “Last Frontier” of the human body.

Simple operation at every step of the way from setup to observation and treatment
Efficient hand controls and automatic pressure control, eliminate complex operations reducing procedure time
Effective high quality image and improved treatment performance achieved through the use of Single Balloon Enteroscope System
