Boston Scientific’s Single-Use Bronchoscope Cleared in Europe

Boston Scientific has received CE mark certification for its Exalt Model B single-use bronchoscope.

The device is designed for use at the patient’s bedside in the operating room and the intensive care unit. Because it is single-use, it helps to eliminate risks of scope-related infections that could be caused by inadequate reprocessing.

Available in slim, regular and large sizes, the scope can be used in a wide variety of bronchoscopy procedures, including airway intubation, biopsies and double-lumen endotracheal tube placement.
