Ottomed Endoscopy

Veterinary medicine keeps moving forward, often by adopting successful methods from human healthcare. Ottomed Endoscopy recognizes the value of proven human GI practices and adapts them for veterinary use. Here’s how your clinic can benefit from these lessons, using Ottomed’s ureteroscopes, endoscopy software, and bronchoscopes.   1. Instrument Handling & Sterilization Human hospitals set high standards for cleaning and sterilizing endoscopic devices to prevent infections. For veterinary clinics, following similar protocols is crucial: Thorough Cleaning: Clean Ottomed Ureteroscopes and bronchoscopes after every use with enzymatic detergents and brushes. Effective Disinfection: Use high-level disinfectants or automated reprocessors to fully sterilize instruments. Staff Training: Make sure your team is well-trained on current cleaning procedures and understands the special needs of endoscopic tools. Detailed Documentatio...

Just a few decades ago, diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) problems often meant invasive procedures and uncertain results. Today, Ottomed’s modern endoscopy instruments have changed the way doctors examine the digestive system, making the process faster, more comfortable, and much more accurate. If you ever need a GI evaluation, Ottomed’s advancements offer clear benefits for your health.   1. Endoscopy Instruments Ottomed’s endoscopy instruments use high-definition cameras and advanced optics to give doctors crisp, detailed images of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. This clarity helps spot even the smallest issues—like early-stage polyps or tiny ulcers—early on, when they’re easiest to treat. The instruments are also designed to be slim and flexible, which means less discomfort and a smoother exam for you. Articulating tips allow the scope to move around tight bends in your GI tract safely and precisely, reducing the risk of injury and missed diagnoses.   2. Du...

Over the past decade, endoscopy departments have faced mounting pressure to increase throughput while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and diagnostic accuracy. Your success in meeting these demands largely depends on how well you optimize the integration between three crucial components: your endoscopic camera system, processing tower, and reprocessor unit. When you choose compatible devices from the same company or provide a smooth integration between disparate brands, you establish a workflow base that frees up bottlenecks and minimizes procedural lag. Your image quality in your Endoscope Camera system directly correlates with diagnostic certainty, and your processing capacity in your tower dictates how fast you can scan, store, and send important visual information. Your reprocessor's productivity, meanwhile, influences turnover times between procedures. You'll experience firsthand the benefits of improved workflow effectiveness when these three elemen...

It's essential to keep your Endoscopy equipment—camera, tower, and washer—performing at its optimal level. Following a well-planned maintenance schedule can help your devices last longer and continue to perform at their best. Follow this step-by-step guide on how to maintain your equipment. Daily Maintenance of Endoscopy instruments Maintenance of Endoscopy instruments on a daily basis includes careful cleaning, inspection for damage, proper drying, and secure storage to ensure they remain functional, prevent infections, and maximize their lifespan as essential medical devices. Check Your Endoscopy Camera: Inspect the Endoscope Camera head for noticeable damage, such as cracks or dents, before using the endoscope. Clean the lens with a lint-free cloth and wipe gently to remove smudges or dust. Ensure the light source is in proper working condition and that the image remains clear. Sanitize the Tower: Unplug the tower and use a disinfectant wipe on the monitor, keyboard, ...

Instruments play a crucial role in achieving the success of endoscopic interventions, such as ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) and ureteroscopy. When performing these procedures, proper tools are essential for differentiating between an effortless procedure and a troublesome one. Accessory instruments are manufactured with the sole intention of enhancing accuracy, security, and speed for you to accomplish superior results in your patients. In ERCP Scope, you depend on accessories such as guidewires, sphincterotomes, and retrieval baskets to move through the biliary and pancreatic ducts. A properly selected guidewire offers stability, making it easy for you to advance catheters. Sphincterotomes offer you control when cutting through the sphincter of Oddi, while retrieval baskets assist in removing stones or debris easily. Without these accessories, your diagnostic and therapeutic capability for conditions such as choledocholithiasis or strictures would be greatly...

In healthcare today, efficiency, hygiene, and precision are not negotiable—particularly in endoscopy. As endoscopic procedures grow more advanced, the equipment and technology accompanying them must keep pace to serve the needs of clinicians and patients. At Ottomed, we are dedicated to helping endoscopy departments with a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions, such as Endoscope Reprocessors, Endoscope Washers, and smart Endoscopy Software—each serving a critical purpose in providing safer, faster, and smarter care. Endoscope Reprocessors: Protecting Patient Safety Endoscope Reprocessors are the foundation of infection control during endoscopic procedures. These sophisticated devices mechanize the high-level disinfection process, ensuring that every scope is cleaned consistently and to the highest safety standards. Automated Endoscope Reprocessors (AERs) greatly minimize the risk of cross-contamination and assist facilities in maintaining compliance with stringent healthcare regulat...
