The vScope, is a low investment alternative, that reduces the economical reason for not offering endoscopic examinations to clients.
It is a cost-effective solution for clinics of all sizes, that allows mobile or multi site placement. The vScope low cost, releases flexibility of use
to clinics that wish to expand there diagnostic potential but cannot justify the more expensive alternatives.
The vScope allows clinics to dedicate several vScopes to single departments at low financial cost.
Endoscopic investigation increases the diagnostic capability of clinic skill and service. Client compliance and acceptance with visual
information from a videoscope improves and justifies the outlay cost. Compared to more expensive alternatives there are little or no
maintenance costs.
The vScope is classed as a disposable endoscope, field tests with veterinarians have shown the scope suitable for 10-15 procedures before it
develops a weakness in the flexion of the tip. With a fully charged monitor the vScope will work for 90 minutes. the scope requires the same
cleaning procedure as for their normal scopes.

Testimonials:
“vScope is easy to use and quick to prepare with the simple “plug-in” system. Screen color and resolution is adequate for most purposes.
vScope is easy to control when scoping the respiratory tract and vagina, and with a little experience it can also be controlled through the
ventricle, although flexion is possible only in 2 directions. vScope is easy to clean and in our hospital we were able to perform an average of
10-15 endoscopic examinations before it had to be discarded. The retrograde scoping of the nasal cavity in particular has to be done with
caution in order not to break the wires that control flexion of the scope. The other procedures described cause minimal strain of the scope.
The relatively low start-up cost makes the vScope competitive, especially for veterinarians who want to get started with endoscopic
examinations. This makes it possible for clinics to have scopes dedicated to various tasks without being financially challenged.”

“We were able to verify the performance of vScope, a semi-disposable endoscope, under clinical conditions at our veterinary hospital in
Hamburg.
The handling of the equipment was surprisingly easy while still producing an acceptable image quality. We found the equipment very useful,
especially during our emergency services. Our younger staff members occasionally got a bit nervous during emergency procedures, so we
were quite happy to be able to provide easy to handle low cost equipment which would not cost thousands of Euros and with no need for
an experienced operator.
The most frequent examinations we performed using the vScope were tracheoscopy, laryngoscopy and gastroscopy. We found vScope
useful for fast and easy examinations. However, for higher quality images we still prefer the high-quality endoscopes at our clinic.
Regarding gastroscopy, vScope is a convenient way to e.g. get an overview of the condition of the gastric mucosa. However, for more
detailed examinations, the length of the scope is too short.
In summary, the equipment is very useful to get a quick insight into the most important areas in acute patients as well as during routine
examinations. The advantages of vScope lie in its low costs and easy handling.”
