SpyGlass™ DS

Direct Visualization System

Early Cholangioscopy

First use of peroral cholangioscopy was reported in the 1970s
Adoption was significantly hampered over the next 30 years due to technical limitations of 'mother-baby' cholangioscopes including:
– High repair costs
– Limited steerability
– Poor irrigation capabilities
– Requires 2 operators
