Broncoflex™
Single-Use Broncoflex™: Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Broncoflex™ is a single-use bronchoscope designed in France, offering intuitive technology and a flexible design. It streamlines workflows and reduces costs while maintaining the feel of a reusable scope.
- Designed to feel familiar in expert hands
- Fits all therapeutic procedures, without compromising on suction or ventilation
- Makes the work as seamless and effective as possible
Superior Suction
The use of Single-Use Flexible Bronchoscopes (SUFBs) is increasing in Intensive Care settings because of the ease of setup, lack of the need for cleaning, and to reduce the risk of infections.
Since SUFBs are commonly used for airway inspection and clearance of secretions, their suction capabilities in relation to the outer diameters are important. A Bench study was conducted to assess the suction capacity of the currently available SUFBs at various fluid viscosities : For regular SUFBs, TSC Life Broncoflex 5.6/2.8 (Vortex) provides the maximum suction capability. For slim SUFBs, TSC Life Broncoflex 3.9/1.4 (Agile) consistently outperformed the other models for all viscosities and suc
Ergonomics & Manoeuvrability
Easy-grip handle and a feel similar to a reusable endoscope.
The Broncoflex, with an easy-grip handle and a feel similar to a reusable endoscope, offers identical working channel access and a leak-tight biopsy valve. It scores an average of 45.4/55, including 82.1% for ergonomics and 83% for usability.1 The flexible deflection mechanism allows over 200° of distal angulation, maintaining superior flexibility even with an instrument inserted. The position of the suction cone also allows ambidextrous use of the endoscope.
Easy sampling solution
A single-use solution for bronchoalveolar lavage.
Easy BAL Clip™ is a single-use solution for bronchoalveolar lavage, designed to attach to the Broncoflex and connect with various specimen container sizes. It offers unlimited sample size and quantity, allowing easy switching between containers. The single-operator setup enables a physician to handle the entire procedure alone. Its top handle design improves suction line management, keeping the container upright to prevent sample loss.
High Definition System
The whole system contributes to the display of a high-definition image.
The whole system, from the camera to the Screeni™ visualisation platform, contributes to the display of a high-definition image. The Screeni integrates an algorithm specially developed for detailed contours and ultra-responsive light management. It has been conceived and designed to simplify its use, with unparalleled ease of management and implementation. The system is mobile and lightweight so that it can be easily used in often small spaces.
Unique design
Two sizes, more options.
Two sizes, more options. Research shows that with an 8.0mm endotracheal tube, a large bronchoscope can occupy over half of the tube’s diameter, leading to higher airway pressure, auto-PEEP, reduced tidal volumes, hypoxia, and hypercarbia.1 The Broncoflex 5.6/2.8 addresses these challenges with a unique design that provides a wide working channel and a small external diameter, allowing for easier navigation, effective suction, and compatibility with endotracheal tubes.2

The successful miniaturisation of our systems allows us to offer just two endoscope references, where three are usually required with standard single-use flexible bronchoscopes. These two references are sufficient to cover all flexible bronchoscopy therapeutic indications.
