The Olympus BF-UC180F EBUS bronchoscope is designed to provide exceptional diagnostic accuracy during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). With its uniquely engineered shorter distal rigid tip, the bronchoscope achieves optimal angulation, allowing clinicians to easily approach challenging lymph node stations such as 4L and 10R—areas traditionally difficult to access with standard bronchoscopes.

The BF-UC180F offers real-time, high-resolution ultrasound imaging when connected to the Olympus EU-ME2 or other compatible ultrasound processors. This live visualization enables clinicians to track the ViziShot 2 TBNA needle as it enters the lymph node, ensuring correct positioning and capsule-to-capsule sampling for improved tissue acquisition.

The larger 2.2 mm instrument channel enhances suction performance and allows smooth insertion of EBUS-TBNA needles and other instruments. With proven clinical results demonstrating higher diagnostic yield, greater sensitivity, and improved precision even in lymph nodes as small as 5 mm, the BF-UC180F is a trusted choice for pulmonary, thoracic, and oncology practices worldwide.

• Proven diagnostic performance with higher yield and sensitivity for lymph nodes ≥5 mm.
• Unique shorter distal rigid tip improves angulation and access to difficult nodal stations (e.g., 4L, 10R).
• Real-time high-resolution ultrasound for accurate needle guidance during ViziShot 2 EBUS-TBNA.
• Enhanced precision with direct visualization of needle penetration for capsule-to-capsule sampling.
• Larger 2.2 mm instrument channel for improved suction and smoother device insertion.
• Compatible with Olympus EU-ME2 and other ultrasound processors for superior imaging.
