Pneumology/ Thoracic Surgery
Today, modern bronchoscopy is one of the most important procedures for the assessment and therapy of respiratory diseases.
Rigid bronchoscopes are used for diagnosis and therapy for various indications in the central bronchial system. Rigid bronchoscopy remains the gold standard, especially for the removal of foreign bodies or for interventional procedures, such as tumor removal or stent implantation.
In particular the “Texas” rigid bronchoscope system, with integrable telescopes, and the various combinable bronchoscope tubes, offers many functional advantages.
Obviously, flexible bronchoscopy, which enables applications in the peripheral areas, has become indispensable. In this area, Richard Wolf with the firm’s many years of experience in flexible endoscopy, offers state-of-the-art sensor bronchoscopes with the latest technical features.
The most advanced image sensors in combination with LED illumination and the innovative Endocam Flex HD camera controller offer the highest image quality at the best possible cost-efficiency.
The minimally invasive technology is also increasingly being used in thoracic surgery. Diagnosis and therapy for tumorous diseases of the lungs, the mediastinum, and the chest wall can be performed today under minimally invasive conditions. More than 60 % of the operations are performed using endoscopic techniques, resulting in a shortened hospital stay and minimization of postoperative complaints.
Richard Wolf offers the complete product range for endoscopic thoracic surgery. It includes innovative system solutions for single-port thoracoscopy, video mediastinoscopy, as well as video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS).

Richard Wolf Flexible sensor bronchoscope for ENDOCAM Logic und ENDOCAM Flex HD
Pneumology/ Thoracic SurgeryThe area of pneumology is currently inconceivable without flexible bronchoscopes, which have now become firmly established as part of the state of the art.
Richard Wolf has decades of experience in flexible endoscopy. This is one of the reasons why, with the latest sensor bronchoscopes, you can benefit not only from the latest technical features, but also from a particularly ergonomic design.
What’s more, cost-effectiveness and a space-saving, compact design for the Camera Controller were key priorities when it came to creating the ENDOCAM Flex HD bronchoscope range.
Depending on your specific requirements, the available variants ensure that you are perfectly equipped for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, with the “Slim Line model” suitable for reaching even far into the peripheral areas of the lungs.
With the launch of the new “SLIM” sensor bronchoscope, the first model compatible with the ENDOCAM Logic camera platform (HD and 4K) has now been added to the flexible sensor bronchoscope family.
This means that the “SLIM” bronchoscope benefits from the extended functionality of the ENDOCAM Logic camera platform, including the save function for images and video sequences, as well as the option to connect to the core nova OR integration.
Additional information on the individual models is given in the following overview.

Richard Wolf TEXAS bronchoscope
Pneumology/ Thoracic SurgeryThe next generation of rigid bronchoscopes
The rigid “TEXAS” bronchoscope was developed in close collaboration with Dr. Garrett Walsh* for diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy. The fully integratable telescope that can be combined with 6 different bronchoscope tubes, ensures optimal visibility and flexibility. The largest possible working channel design allows easy, synchronous or separate introduction of various forceps and instruments.
Thus the TEXAS bronchoscope system is ideally-suited for a wide range of applications, such as biopsy, tumor resection, foreign body removal, stent placement, and extraction.
Thanks to the integrated telescope, intubation of the rigid tube is performed under constant view and thus the procedure is significantly facilitated. When using auxiliary instruments, the telescope is well protected against mechanical influences through the separate telescope channel.
