Rigid endoscope Rigid Endoskope

A Rigid Endoscope is a very delicate instrument that allows a surgeon to look into the body and see internal
organs. Flexible glass fibers (fiber optics) transmit light for illuminating and viewing without transmitting
damaging heat. Usually, a Video Camera is attached to the scope via a Camera Coupler so that the image can be
transmitted to a Video Monitor. Endoscopes can be diagnostic, for observation only, or operative, some having
channels for irrigation, suction, and the insertion of accessory instruments or Laser fiber. The rigid endoscope
comes in a variety of diameters and lengths depending on the requirements of the procedure and/or surgeon.

The rigid endoscope also comes in different viewing angles, The angle of the lens used is determined by the
position of the structure to be viewed.
