Benefits of DBE
DBE is less invasive and more convenient for the patient than intraoperative small-bowel endoscopy (2). DBE endoscopes are more user-friendly and cost-effective than surgical options for healthcare professionals. The Fujifilm DBE EN-840T Endoscope, with its revolutionary high-resolution CMOS Sensor, prioritizes patient safety, imaging accuracy, and reduced procedure time.
Fujifilm Ensures Patient Safety With Top Quality Equipment
Endoscopies are part of a patient’s diagnostic or therapeutic journey. Endoscopists’ safety and quality are impacted by their working environment, including equipment and facilities (3). Fujifilm supports endoscopic healthcare professionals with top-quality equipment to ensure safe patient treatment. The EN-840T endoscope is simple to set up and use, providing easy manoeuvrability during treatments.
