Equipped with a slim distal end diameter of 11.4 mm and a shorter rigid section, the echo-endoscope is highly flexible. The enhanced manoeuvrability makes it easier to approach in retroflex observation of fundus and cardia, and with its round tip design and a direct forward view, the EG-580UR can be inserted into narrow lumen – just like a standard gastroscopic procedure. Furthermore the upward bending capability of 190° allows maximum flexibility.
