Olympus Rolls Out New Imaging Platform for ENT and Urology in the US
Olympus has launched the VISERAS OTV-S500, its newest imaging platform, designed for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and urological procedures. The system is designed for both office and outpatient settings, offering flexible and rigid endoscope compatibility, along with a built-in lighting system that supports switching between white light, stroboscopy mode, and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI).
A key feature of the VISERA S system is its tight integration with Olympus’s content management tools, including the nCare medical recorder and VaultStream system, enabling clinicians to capture procedural recordings and share data across sites within a facility. Olympus also emphasized that NBI technology has been shown to reduce recurrence in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) by about 37% over a follow-up period of 1,235 months compared with white light cystoscopy alone. The VISERA S Video is not suitable for cardiac applications, but its main features include improved color, depth, and resolution for a clear view of vascular structures.
Olympus Corporation is a global medical technology company committed to providing minimally invasive treatments to improve patient outcomes with elevated standards of care.
