TEXAS Bronchoscope

A new generation of rigid bronchoscopes

The rigid TEXAS bronchoscope was developed by Richard Wolf in close cooperation with Dr. Garrett Walsh* for diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy. The fully integrable telescope can be combined with 6 different bronchoscope tubes for ideal visibility and flexibility. The extra-large working channel allows forceps and instruments to be introduced easily, together or individually.

The TEXAS bronchoscope system is therefore ideal for a wide range of applications, such as tissue biopsy, tumor resection, foreign body removal and stent placement and removal.

The integrated telescope allows rigid tube intubation with a constantly good view, greatly simplifying the procedure. When auxiliary instruments are used, a separate channel protects the telescope perfectly from the instruments.

*Dr. Garrett Walsh is Professor of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA

Advantages at a glance

View through the telescope integrated in the bronchoscope tube
360° all-round view through the fenestrated, beak-shaped distal end of the bronchoscope tube
A constant view greatly helps intubation
Integrated irrigation channel to rinse the distal telescope lens if it is soiled with secretions or blood during the procedure
Telescope with integrated light cable in a separate groove, leaving the whole lumen free (large working channel)
Compatible with dedicated forceps and all forceps for combined use with flexible bronchoscopes (rigid and flexible technique)
Ideal for interventional applications such as bronchial stent placement
