Flexible (Fiber) laryngoscopes

Fibrolaryngoscopes — a safe and informative examination

Making an accurate diagnosis by an otolaryngologist requires a visual assessment of the condition of the nasal cavity, larynx, throat, upper trachea. Fibrolaryngoscopy, a method of instrumental examination with the help of a video camera, helps in this. For the procedure, a medical fiber laryngoscope is developed. The equipment is a flexible endoscope with a fiber optic system, which is successfully used for diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, examination of organs in all physiological states.

Fiber laryngoscope: use

During the examination, the doctor introduces the fiber laryngoscope through the sinuses or mouth. Due to its special design and flexibility, the device repeats anatomical curves, is safe, and minimizes patient discomfort. The equipment is widely used in laryngoscopy for manipulations:

• measurement of polyps, adenoids;

• removal of cysts;

• examination of the sinuses and paranasal cavities;

• extraction of foreign objects;

• examination of auditory tubes;

• detection of neoplasms, inflammation, stenosis, bleeding;

Using the device, the otolaryngologist administers drugs, performs biopsies, microsurgery and therapeutic procedures. The doctor gets a full view of organs and tissues with the ability to take photos, video recording. This is the main advantage for analyzing the dynamics of treatment. Fibro laryngoscopy is perfect for people with increased gag reflex, chronic diseases of the larynx, problems with swallowing.

Features of the fiber laryngoscope

With the help of a medical device, the doctor easily gets access to high-quality visualization of anatomical structures. Image transmission occurs through special flexible fibers. Fiber laryngoscope used or new has a standard structure:

1. The distal end is maneuverable easily reaching the necessary areas.

2. The working part consists of a fiberglass and an instrument channel. 

3. The handle contains the controls.

4. The instrument channel allows insertion of medical devices.

5. The water and aspiration channels help to maintain cleanliness and guarantee high functionality.

During fibro laryngoscopy, the thin end of the device is inserted along the floor of the nasal cavity into the larynx. The movement of the device is performed under the constant control of a specialist. Advancement of the fiberscope occurs on an inhalation. If there are special medical instruments, the doctor can take a fragment of tissue for analysis, stop bleeding, remove a small-sized neoplasm, and extract a foreign body.
