Your Vision, Our Future V-System - changing the way ERCPs are performed Biliary and Pancreatic Procedures

A total system for complex procedures The number and importance of biliary and pancreatic procedures is on the rise. To reflect this tendency, Olympus has developed the innovative V-System to improve ERCP in the following three areas: Guidewire manoeuvrability, guidewire positioning and exchange and control of Endo-Therapy devices during the procedure. A system comprising of the new V-Scope, the new V-Holder™ and a full range of Endo-Therapy instruments, V-System is not simply a new tool for ERCP but a whole new approach to performing ERCP. A system with intelligent features – and...

Improving ERCP from start to finish ”V-System covers all areas of biliary and pancreatic procedures. The ability to lock the guidewire safely into place and to control devices with the new V-Holder™ make ERCP faster and let everyone involved proceed with more confidence.” Exchanging devices with the V-Holder™ is easy and efficient. It enables the endoscopist to exchange ERCP devices, while the guidewire remains in place. The V-Holder is mounted on the EXERA V-Scope in one easy step. The physician can manipulate the guidewire with the device attached to the V-Holder. When exchanging the...

Small “V” with great impact – the new V-Scope The new V-Scope is based on classic duodenoscopes, like those employed up to now for ERCP procedures. What makes it different is a V-shaped groove at the tip of the forceps elevator – the V-Groove. The dedicated guidewire LinearGuideV™ fits precisely into this groove and improves device manipulation to and from the bile and pancreatic ducts. The guidewire runs along the V-shaped groove, and – once positioned in the desired location – can be fixed and locked in place at a touch of the elevator lever. This way, Endo-Therapy devices can now be...

The core innovation for clever control The V-System has been specifically designed to make ERCP easier and more reliable. The V-Holder™ plays an integral role for the overall system. “With the V-Holder I am able to withdraw the catheter quickly and easily while the guidewire stays in place.” The V-Holder™ is mounted on the V-Scope and assists the operator in a very efficient way to control the guidewire and to exchange ERCP devices. The V-Holder™ allows the endoscopist to perform some parts of the procedure on his own, while the assistant gains time to prepare the next steps. The V-Holder™...

Guiding the procedure to success • Securely locked in place with the new V-Scope Ring-marker section Ring-markers are visible from 50mm to 120mm from the distal end to help determine duct penetration. • Two-step visible markers ensure visibility in the endoscopic field of view • Two distal tip configurations – straight and angulated Spiral-marker section Endoscopic visibility of the spiral-markers indicates that Linear GuideV™ may be locked in the V-Groove. • Hydrophilic coating on distal portion – for easy exchange • PTFE coating on proximal portion Hydrophilic Coating Length: 500 mm The...

Gain access with accuracy • CleverCut™ coating enhances safety The patented safety coating on the proximal end of the cutting wire minimises damage to surrounding tissue and reduces the risk of electrical contact between the wire and the endoscope. Coating Safe and reliable sphincterotomes that are comfortable to use are essential to gain access to the bile duct. These innovative two and three lumen knives provide exceptional cutting performance and a high level of safety. • V-Marking This marking on the proximal sheath indicates when the guidewire can be securely locked. • Device control...

Catch stones with confidence Both models are available with rotation mechanism or guidewire access! The innovative eight-wire construction functions as a basket within the basket and the removal of small stones and sludge is facilitated. Moreover, this basket design makes it easier to release stones if necessary. • Easier catching of stones (rotatable basket) FlowerBasketV™ and TetraCatchV™ single use retrieval baskets offer excellent stone management capabilities. Retrieval of small, floating stones or stones located in the lower bile duct above the papilla can now be achieved with a new...

High speed for biliary drainage These stents offer the perfect combination of flexibility and stiffness. The tapered design of the distal end facilitates insertion into the bile duct. The flaps and side holes are designed to increase reliability by helping to prevent the stents from moving or dislodging in the duodenum. Stents are available in diameters of 7, 8.5, and 10 French. The inner layer uses a specially processed fluorinated material making the inner surface five times smoother than conventional plastic stents. The outer layer is a more rigid material to ensure smooth insertion....
