Olympus BF-UC180F EVIS EXERA II EBUS Ultrasonic Bronchofibervideoscope
Olympus BF-UC180F EVIS EXERA II EBUS Ultrasonic Bronchofibervideoscope
The Olympus BF-UC180F is an advanced EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound) ultrasonic bronchofibervideoscope designed to support highly accurate pulmonary diagnostics and minimally invasive transbronchial needle aspiration procedures. As part of the trusted Olympus EVIS EXERA II platform, the BF-UC180F combines high-quality endoscopic visualization with real-time ultrasound imaging for enhanced lymph node assessment and tissue sampling.
Engineered specifically for EBUS-TBNA procedures, the BF-UC180F features a uniquely designed distal tip that improves access to difficult-to-reach nodal stations such as 4L and 10R. Its real-time ultrasound guidance and improved maneuverability help clinicians achieve accurate tissue acquisition and reliable diagnostic performance.
Key Features & Benefits
Real-Time Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
Provides direct ultrasound visualization for accurate needle placement and lymph node sampling during EBUS-TBNA procedures.
Optimized Distal Tip Design
Short rigid distal tip enhances angulation and access to challenging nodal stations for improved procedural efficiency.
High-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging
Supports precise visualization of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes during pulmonary staging procedures.
2.2 mm Instrument Channel
Larger working channel improves suction capability and allows smoother insertion of EBUS accessories and aspiration needles.
Advanced Pulmonary Diagnostic Capability
Designed for accurate staging and diagnosis of lung cancer and mediastinal disease.
Electronic Curved Linear Array Scanning
Enables real-time ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition with high precision.
Excellent Maneuverability
Ergonomic insertion design supports smoother navigation through bronchial anatomy during complex procedures.
