The Olympus GIF-145 Video Gastroscope is a versatile endoscope offering reliable imaging and smooth handling.
The GIF-145 is an earlier-generation Olympus video gastroscope, part of the EVIS lineup that preceded the EXERA and EXERA II series. It shares the same fundamental design goals as its successors — a slim insertion tube, wide field of view, and a channel large enough for routine biopsy and treatment work — though its diameter and field of view are more modest than later models like the GIF-Q160 or GIF-H180.
At 9.8 mm, the GIF-145's insertion tube is on the thicker end for a gastroscope by later standards, but it was built for reliable, routine upper GI examinations rather than close-focus or high-definition observation. Its 130° field of view is narrower than the 140° found on the Q160 and later scopes, reflecting its place earlier in the EVIS product generation.
Other Olympus scopes from the same generation, such as the GIF-Q165, list the CV-145 among their compatible video processors alongside CV-180, CV-165, CV-160, and CV-140 — suggesting the GIF-145 gastroscope and CV-145 processor were designed to work as part of the same system generation, though this isn't confirmed by an official Olympus brochure.
No official Olympus brochure or manufacturer specification sheet for the GIF-145 turned up in search — only listings from medical equipment resellers and refurbishers (Sept Médical, MedWOW). No release date is publicly documented for this model.
