Amongst the new products being presented will be the latest in high definition endoscopic imaging, the EPK-i5000 video processor; the PENTAX EC-3490Ti colonoscope with 210° tip deflection for detection and treatment of polyps or lesions in hard-to-reach areas; the PENTAX VSB-2990i entroscope with unique HD+ resolution for detailed visualisation of the small bowel; and the PENTAX EC-2990Fi. This is the world’s slimmest HD+ colonoscope offering manoeuvrability, comfort and control in areas that conventional colonoscopes could only reach with difficulty.
At the forefront of state-of-the art endoscopy and designing innovative technology for meeting clinician’s needs, PENTAX UK is also offering delegates an on-stand sneak preview of the EPK-i7000, the next step in high definition endoscopic imaging. Alongside its new products, PENTAX UK will also be demonstrating its Zero-Wire technology with wireless HD medical grade screens. Removing the need for complex and expensive wiring systems, Zero-Wire delivers clear, high resolution images wherever you are in the theatre.
PENTAX UK is also hosting an evening symposium on Tuesday 19th June, 5.00-7.00pm, Room 1B, titled ‘Endoscopy and Early Neoplasia: Embracing The Future’. Chaired by Professor Pradeep Bhandari from Queen Alexander Hospital, Portsmouth and Dr Matthew Banks from University College Hospital, London, attendees have the opportunity to hear talks from both chairs and Professor Ralf Kiesslich (University of Mainz, Germany). Dr Banks will be discussing the ABC of HD endoscopy, Prof. Bhandari will be focusing on endoscopic resection and Prof. Kiesslich will be discussing the journey to confocal imaging. Attendance is free and on a first-come-first-serve basis.
“DDF 2012 is an important event in our calendar,” said David Moore, Managing Director, PENTAX UK Ltd. “It provides an ideal opportunity for both our current and prospective customers to come and meet and ask questions of our team of endoscopy experts, as well as see our technology in action. In so doing, we aim to demonstrate how we can fully support them in making the right decision for themselves and the hospitals they work with.”
