Ambu helps increase your efficiency and streamline your workflow by providing single-use endoscopy solutions tailored specifically for urology. In the near future, we will further enhance our services to offer a wider range of high-quality single-use endoscopy solutions for urology.

The environmental impact of single-use and reusable cystoscopes

The study compares the full life cycle.

Key points include:

Transitioning from reusable products to single-use ones typically reduces environmental footprint.

The complete life cycle of the single-use aScope 4 Cysto may have a lower environmental impact than solely the processing of reprocessed reusable cystoscopes.

Transitioning can reduce the environmental footprint, but this doesn't encompass the entire product. Processes such as reprocessing and cleaning of reusable products should also be taken into account.

Due to incomplete manufacturer data on the lifespan outside of reprocessing, the environmental impact of reusable cystoscopes is considered to be close to zero.

Single-use solutions can enhance efficiency with advanced imaging technologies.

The Ambu® aScope™ 5 Cysto HD combines superior HD image quality with the simplicity and efficiency of a sterile single-use cystoscope solution.

The new solution, aScope Duodeno, is an endoscopic innovation designed for duodenal procedures.

Produced by the world's leading single-use endoscopy supplier.

In 2009, Ambu launched the world's first single-use flexible bronchoscope, and by 2020, over a million of our single-use endoscopes were used in more than 6,000 hospitals. Leveraging our decade-long experience, aScope Duodeno strengthens our expertise in providing consistent, sterile, and cost-effective solutions.

The results indicate that single-use cystoscopes are market-ready.

Urologists and procurement managers worldwide, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, totaling 415 individuals, indicated their willingness to transition to single-use cystoscopes in nearly half of their procedures.

Anket katılımcıları, sistoskopi prosedürlerinin %44.5'ine tek kullanımlık sistoskoplara geçme istekliliği gösterdi.
