Item Name Code (INC) 13844
Additional Information for Esophagoscope
Esophagoscopes are medical instruments used for examining the esophagus, which is the muscular tube connecting the throat to the stomach. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Esophagoscopes are typically flexible or rigid tubes with a light source and a camera attached to one end. They are inserted through the mouth and guided down the throat to visualize the esophagus. This allows healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the esophagus, such as inflammation, strictures, tumors, or foreign bodies.
Flexible esophagoscopes are more commonly used as they can navigate the curves of the esophagus more easily. They are made of a flexible fiber-optic bundle that transmits images from the camera to a monitor for visualization. Rigid esophagoscopes, on the other hand, are straight and require the patient to be under general anesthesia.
Esophagoscopes come in different sizes and designs to accommodate various patient populations, from infants to adults. They are typically sterilized before each use to ensure patient safety.
It's important to note that the use of esophagoscopes requires specialized training and should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals.
