The SpyGlass Direct Visualization System is the latest advancement in intraductal visualization during a cholangioscopy. The SpyGlass System is the first single operator, intraductal system that allows for not only optical viewing, but also optically-guided biopsies and has been shown to be compatible with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) to fragment stones.*

The SpyGlass System is designed to allow the physician the ability to directly see the site of interest, whether it be a stricture, stones or areas of concern, vs. the traditional non-direct visualization techniques such as x-ray.
