DEVICES FOR ACCURATE ACCESS AND THE EFFICIENT SAMPLING OF LESIONS
Advance the guide sheath as close as
possible to the lesion. The radiopaque
tip is clearly visible under X-ray.
Optional 5. Use the Guiding Device (A)
to Navigate Through Bifurcations
1. Move the ultrasonic probe together
with the guide sheath when using
the ultrasonic probe.
2. Use the ultrasonic image to precisely
position the guide sheath tip at the
centre of the lesion.
With the guiding device inserted into
the guide sheath, use the rotatable
bending tip of the guiding device to
navigate through difficult bifurcations.
The guiding device is visible under
X-ray.
4. Advance the Guide Sheath Under Fluoroscopy
Optional6. Use the Ultrasonic Probe (B)
for Precise Targeting
1. Once the guide sheath tip reaches
the target position, fix the guide
sheath stopper at the endoscope’s
channel port so that the sheath
remains in place.
2. Once you have used the guiding
device or an ultrasonic probe,
retrieve the device while leaving the
guide sheath at the target site.
7. Position the Guide Sheath at the Target Site

Guiding Device
CC-6DR-1
· The bending and rotating
mechanism enables the guiding
device to access airways at difficult
bifurcations
1. Prepare the Guide Sheath
1. Insert the endoscope into the
bronchus.
2. Advance the endoscope as far as
possible into the targeted area
of the lung.
1. Attach a stopper to all devices.
2. Insert the devices into the guide
sheath and adjust the stoppers so
that the distal end of the devices
slightly extends from the guide
sheath.
2. Insert the Bronchoscope 3. Insert the Guide Sheath
Insert the guide sheath into the endo-
scope with an EndoTherapy device/
ultrasonic probe.

THE CONVENIENT GUIDE SHEATH TECHNIQUE
Accessing peripheral pulmonary lesions remains a challenge with bronchoscopy. The innovative
GuideSheathKit helps to improve the diagnosis of lung lesions.
The guide sheath is advanced and positioned at the centre of a solitary pulmonary nodule under X-ray or with ultrasonic
guidance. Once positioned at the target site, the guide sheath acts like an extended working channel allowing safe and
repeated access to the lesion for taking biopsies and cytology brushing.
Every kit contains the following instruments:
· Guide sheath
· Biopsy forceps
· Cytology brush (only in K-201/K-203)
· A set of dedicated stoppers
Optional devices:
· Guiding device
· Ultrasonic miniature probe

Repeatedly insert the cytology brush
until the adjusted stopper touches the
grip of the guide sheath. This ensures
sampling within the target site.

EASY AND REPEATED ACCESS TO SOLITARY PULMONARY NODULES
Minimally Invasive
Using the GuideSheathKit for endobronchial sampling in the peripheral area of the lung is a less invasive
technique than percutaneous or surgical sampling methods.
Multiple Sampling for Improved Bronchoscopic Diagnosis
By placing the distal tip of the guide sheath at the target site, physicians can repeatedly take biopsies and
cytology specimens at the same site. Multiple sampling and the combination of different sampling methods
help to increase yield and diagnostic success.
Reliable and Fast Access with Less Radiation
Once the guide sheath is positioned, fast and reliable access to the lesion is possible. There is no further need
to spend additional time relocating the target site under fluoroscopy. By using an ultrasonic probe, the detection
of the centre of the lesion becomes even more precise.
