The gold standard for tumor diagonosis—Pathological examination

Model: Bronchoscopy Simulator I (ZQG-13-01)

Bronchoscopy for lung cancer is essential. Bronchoscopy can not only diagnose lung diseases but also treat them in the trachea. It has long been an indispensable and important means of lung diagnosis. With the development of technology, the diameter of the bronchoscope has become smaller and smaller, and it can examine the lower bronchi and even reach the edge of the lungs for biopsy, so as to observe the early lesions of the tracheal endothelium and the range of lesions. Bronchoscopy is to place a slender bronchoscope into the patient's lower respiratory tract, that is, the trachea and bronchi and more distal ends, through the mouth or nose, to directly observe the lesions of the trachea and bronchi, and to take corresponding inspection and treatment measures for the lesions. Bronchoscopy should be selected for suspected lesions in the trachea and bronchial cavities, lung diseases, and foreign bodies in the respiratory tract. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy before surgery can not only clarify the pathological type of lung cancer through bronchoscopic biopsy, but also clearly observe the location and invasion range of the tumor, which helps thoracic surgeons determine the surgical method. It is especially important for central lung cancer at the bronchial opening.

The bronchoscope simulator is designed and reconstructed based on optimized respiratory CT data, and the bronchus contains all five lobes and eighteen segments. The ends of the bronchus extend to the 5th level branches and some branches extend to the 6th level.It can be used for Simulating rigid bronchoscopy and flexible bronchoscopy training. Moreover, it’s also applicable for training of endoscopic examination and treatment demonstration of respiratory diseases such as tracheal tumors, calcification, and perforation.
