The Olympus A2972 is a dual-channel Albarran deflecting bridge, also known as the "Double Horn" bridge. It is designed for use with compatible Olympus cystoscopes and urological endoscopes to facilitate the simultaneous passage and precise independent control of two instruments during complex urological endoscopic procedures. The deflecting mechanism of this bridge provides controlled angulation and positioning of instruments, critical for interventions such as stone retrieval, stent placement, tumor management, and biopsies within the bladder and urinary tract. Constructed from durable, medical-grade materials, the A2972 supports repeated sterilization and integrates seamlessly into advanced urological workflows requiring multi-instrument access and fine control.
Key Features:
- Dual working channels: Enables simultaneous use and independent control of two instruments to enhance procedural versatility.
- Deflecting mechanism: Precise angulation control for improved navigation and targeting inside the urinary tract.
- Albarran lever: Offers fine adjustment of guidewires or accessories during complex manipulations.
- Compatibility: Fits Olympus cystoscope sheaths sized 23–25 French, widely used in clinical urology.
- Durable construction: Made from medical-grade metals suitable for repeated sterilization and clinical reuse.
- Reusable: Designed to withstand multiple autoclave sterilization cycles.
- Applications: Ideal for advanced urological endoscopy such as stone management, tumor assessment, stent placement, and biopsy.
- Included in some Olympus resection sets as a key accessory for complex procedures.
