Rigid Bronchoscope

A rigid bronchoscope is a medical instrument widely used in pulmonology and thoracic surgery. Unlike flexible bronchoscopes, it provides a straight and sturdy metal tube that allows physicians to access the trachea and bronchi for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Main Applications:

Removal of foreign bodies from the airway

Control of massive hemoptysis (bleeding in lungs)

Endobronchial tumor debulking and stent placement

Biopsies of airway lesions

Airway dilation in cases of stenosis

Rigid bronchoscopy offers superior control of the airway, larger working channels, and better suction capacity compared to flexible devices, making it essential in emergency and complex cases.
