LONDON and TOKYO, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing innovative endoscopic solutions means understanding clinicians' needs to optimally treat patients, based on their specific condition. PENTAX Medical is expanding its offering, to present clinicians and healthcare providers with the power of choice. PENTAX Medical provides a range of equipment to treat each and every patient in the most optimal way, in order to minimise the risk of infection. The portfolio includes the PENTAX Medical ONE Pulmo™ single-use bronchoscope, and will soon include the Slim DEC™ Duodenoscope (ED32-i10; OE-A65), PlasmaTYPHOON™+, and PENTAX Medical DEC™ hygiene pack.

Michael Unger, General Manager Marketing, Product and Business Development EMEA, explains: "Our main aim is to provide healthcare providers with more choice and additional options to treat each patient in the best way possible, whether for a routine or emergency procedure. As a smart innovator in the field, we are offering intelligent and innovative solutions for the best possible treatment of patients. As always, improved hygiene and patient safety are pivotal in our research and development."

Choosing the best solution: Enhanced drying and storage
To treat patients for standard procedures, reusable and semi-disposable endoscopes combined with endoscope drying and storage using the PlasmaTYPHOON™ and PlasmaBAG™ system, allow the possibility to minimise the risk of infection while maximising strong therapeutic performance intervention and the best in class imaging with each procedure. PENTAX Medical now offers a carbon neutral PlasmaBAG, offsetting all carbon emissions emitted during the production process.

This month the second generation of the PlasmaTYPHOON system will be launched, the PlasmaTYPHOON+.[1] Both systems accelerate endoscope reprocessing by substantially reducing drying times from hours to just minutes, while maintaining the disinfected state of endoscopes for up to 31 days.[2] The newest generation PlasmaTYPHOON+ dries even faster than before, in 1- 3 minutes, and offers a more intuitive user experience making processes safer and easier for reprocessing staff. In turn, the small footprint required for endoscope drying and storage greatly reduces costs and space needed. PlasmaTYPHOON+ also provides additional support in daily processes, offering full traceability both printed and digital with audit-ready data-records.
