Your Choice of Diagnostic Scopes
Our flexible video endoscopes come in two different handle designs: standard grip and pistol grip.
The pistol grip handle was designed particularly for ENT endoscopy to facilitate a smooth and efficient insertion. Its lightweight and ergonomic design significantly reduces the strain and maximizes performance for physicians.
