Olympus GIF-XK240 oblique-viewing video gastroscope with 2.8 mm working channel, 1030 mm working length and cannula elevator, designed for advanced upper GI and ERCP procedures.
The OLYMPUS XK-240 is an oblique-viewing video gastroscope designed for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures requiring precise access and orientation in anatomical areas that can be difficult to examine with a conventional forward-viewing endoscope. Its specialized design combines a 45° oblique viewing angle, an articulating distal tip, and an elevator mechanism for precise control of endoscopic instruments.
Unlike a conventional forward-viewing gastroscope, the XK-240 uses a 45° oblique viewing direction. This configuration facilitates image orientation and visual access to certain complex anatomical areas, particularly when the gastrointestinal anatomy has been altered following surgery.
This design has been described for certain ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) procedures in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy, including Billroth II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
The video gastroscope features an outer diameter of 9.7 mm and a working length of 103 cm. This configuration provides a relatively compact instrument while offering sufficient reach for examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract and selected interventional procedures.
Its distal angulation system allows controlled movement in multiple directions. Published specifications indicate angulation of up to 180° upward, 90° downward, 90° to the right, and 90° to the left. This range facilitates positioning of the endoscope and precise orientation of the distal tip during procedures.
The 2.8 mm working channel allows the passage of compatible endoscopic instruments. The XK-240 is also equipped with a cannula elevator, an important feature for interventional procedures requiring precise control of accessory positioning.
The working-channel outlet is positioned at approximately the 11 o’clock position within the endoscopic field of view, according to published medical literature. This configuration is associated with the oblique-viewing design and instrument-control system of the XK-240.
The XK-240 is particularly suited to situations where access to an anatomical region or papilla is more challenging because of surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. It has been described in ERCP procedures involving patients with Billroth II or Roux-en-Y anatomy.
Its working channel and elevator mechanism allow the practitioner to position and control compatible endoscopic accessories during interventional procedures.
