CST-5000S Flexible Video Hysteroscope
The IDEAL EYES HD CST-5000S Flexible Video Hysteroscope featuring Vision Sciences EndoSheath technology provides superior image quality and built-in LED illumination—eliminating the need for an additional light source. The reusable scope is protected from cross-contamination by a single-use sterile sheath, making it the only flexible video hysteroscope designed to never come in contact with the patient. When used properly, the sheath eliminates the need to run high-level disinfection between procedures and obviates the need for backup instruments. This is a cost advantage over standard hysteroscopes, helping speed up turnaround time between patients, which may result in higher profitability.

A sterile barrier between hysteroscope and patient*
EndoSheath Hysteroscopy is a new alternative to conventional hysteroscopy. The sheath provides a durable, protective barrier between patient and scope, as well as a disposable working channel. This reduces the risks associated with exposure to toxic disinfectants, which may be harmful to some patients and staff who come in contact with them. And by reducing the scope’s exposure to potentially harmful cleaning agents, the sheath may prolongs hysteroscope lifespan and eliminates the channel-based repairs, clogged suction line repairs, and reprocessing damage commonly seen with standard cystoscopes/hysteroscopes.
