Rigid Endoscopes
|
|
 The
variety of rigid telescopes available and the visualization afforded
by even the smallest models open up an enormous new field of minimally
invasive diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities to veterinary
practitioners.
Some of the more common applications of rigid endoscopy include
laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, urethrocystoscopy, rhinoscopy, arthroscopy,
otoscopy, vaginoscopy and avian endoscopy. For additional information,

Endoscopes and When would you

Rigid and semi-rigid endoscopes range in size from approximately
1mm to 10mm in outer diameter. Larger telescopes have the advantage
of greater light carrying capacity and larger image size. Smaller
telescopes have the obvious advantage of being less invasive and
fitting into smaller areas (i.e., nasal passages, urethras, joints).
