Flexible video gastroscopes are reusable endoscopes used to visually examine the oesophagus and stomach. They feature a flexible insertion tube with a video sensor at the tip that transmits real-time images to a monitor, allowing clinicians to diagnose conditions, take tissue samples, and perform minor therapeutic procedures.
These devices are designed for repeated use after proper cleaning and sterilization. They are typically supplied by specialized medical equipment vendors and are subject to regulatory oversight as reusable surgical instruments. Their flexible design allows for easier navigation through the upper gastrointestinal tract compared to rigid scopes.
