Olympus StarTip V - Manual (Page 9)

Injection port for contrast media facilitates fluoroscopic visualization.
Sterile single-use design for convenience both before and after procedures.
Eight-wire basket
designed for the
capture and removal
of small stones.
Four-wire basket
design for
versatile retrieval
Rotation mechanism and
bullet-shaped tip
Wire guided ability for
superior insertion capability
The FG-V411Q and FG-V412Q are designed to be wire
guided with the wire passing only through the distal end
of the basket. This makes it possible to insert the basket
into a small incision on the papilla, and allows selective
insertion into the intrahepatic bile duct. In addition,
these baskets have the same expansion capability as our
conventional models(FG-401Q/FG-22Q-1 etc) because
the guidewire is only attached to the basket’s distal tip.
For versatile retrieval of a
wide range of stones, the
TetraCatchV features a
standard four-wire retrieval
basket configuration.
The FlowerBasketV has
eight wires on the distal side
and four wires on the
proximal side. The eight-wire
section allows the precise
retrieval of small stones while
the four-wire section makes
it easier to release them.
V-Marking
The exclusive V-Marking is located on the proximal side of the sheath. When
this marking reaches the channel port on the scope’s control section, it indicates
that the device tip has reached the distal end of the scope and the V-Groove
forceps elevator may be lowered. When withdrawing the device from the scope,
the same marking indicates when to raise the elevator to lock the guidewire.
The Innovative V-System Design Lets You Proceed
with Confidence and Efficiency
Indicates when to raise and lower
the V-Groove forceps elevator.
Revolutionary V-System Device Exchange
is Now Combined with New Basket Designs,
a Rotation Mechanism, and Wire Guided Access
Unique Distal Eight-wire Basket is
Ideal for Retrieval of Small Stones
and with Four Proximal Wires to
Facilitate Release of Captured Stones Standard Four-wire Basket
Meets Most Stone Retrieval
Requirements in the Bile and
Pancreatic Ducts
The rotatable basket (FG-V401QR / FG-V402QR )
allows the retrieval of small stones, especially
floating stones or stones located in the lower bile
duct above the papilla. The bullet-shaped tip
ensures smooth insertion into the bile duct.
The V-System is a complete system that integrates Olympus endoscopes and EndoTherapy devices. The revolutionary
V-System design offers the option of guidewire manipulation by the physician or the assistant, allows easier exchange
of catheters, and enhances cannulation capability.
