Olympus EXERA TJF-160VF Video Duodenoscope

Olympus EXERA TJF-160VF Video Duodenoscope

The Olympus EXERA TJF-160VF is an advanced therapeutic video duodenoscope designed to support sophisticated endoscopic procedures, particularly ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography). With a slim insertion tube diameter of 11.3 mm and a working length of 124 cm, this instrument facilitates penetration into the upper gastrointestinal tract up to the duodenum with optimal minimal invasiveness.

Equipped with a wide 4.2 mm instrument channel diameter, the EXERA TJF-160VF is suitable for various endoscopic therapies such as stent placement, polyp removal, and biopsy. The innovative V-Groove forceps elevator technology provides better and stable control over therapeutic instruments, making procedures more precise and safer.

Additional features include an ergonomic grip for ease of operation, a Scope ID function that records usage data for optimal maintenance, a 100-degree field of view, and 4-way angulation capability (Up 120°, Down 90°, Right 110°, Left 90°) for flexible navigation and maximum visualization.

Benefits for Clinical Efficiency and Infection Control

The Olympus EXERA TJF-160VF enhances clinical efficiency by providing sharp visualization and optimal maneuverability, allowing the endoscopy team to accurately identify problems and perform therapeutic actions directly during the procedure. This reduces the need for major surgical interventions and accelerates the patient's recovery process.

The ergonomic design and V-Groove forceps elevator technology simplify device operation, speed up instrument exchange, and increase therapeutic accuracy, thereby reducing procedure time and enhancing patient safety.

For infection control, the Scope ID function aids in monitoring usage history and proper maintenance, ensuring the sterility and safety of the instrument in every procedure. The material and design of the instrument also support efficient cleaning and sterilization processes, making it a safe choice for medical facilities with high standards for nosocomial infections.

Comparison of Recovery Time: ERCP vs. Surgical Procedures

A comparison of recovery time between ERCP and surgical procedures shows that ERCP has a significant advantage in accelerating the patient recovery process. After an ERCP procedure, patients generally require about 1-2 hours of recovery until the effect of sedation wears off and can return to activities sooner because the procedure is minimally invasive without large incisions. Conversely, surgical procedures, especially open or laparoscopic surgery, require a longer recovery time, typically several weeks, due to the surgical wound and higher risk of postoperative complications. ERCP also reduces the risk of pain and complications compared to surgery, making it an efficient and comfortable option in managing biliary and pancreatic disorders.
