aScope 5 Broncho:
The Bronchoscope for Advanced Procedures and Simplified Workflows
Ambu takes bronchoscopy to even greater heights with four different size single-use flexible bronchoscopes for diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional procedures.
Now Colour-Coded for Easy Identification
The aScope 5 Broncho family now features colour-coded sizing for quick, intuitive scope selection, without compromising the high performance you trust.
Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho
aScope 5 Broncho combines the high level of manoeuvrability and imaging needed in the bronchoscopy suite with the sterility and efficiency of the single-use concept. The result? Consistently high performance, sterility, and the flexibility required for a complex and demanding workflow.

Designed for Diagnostic, Therapeutic & Interventional Procedures
Bright and clear view
Advanced processing helps ensure continuous image optimization. The 120° field-of-view and 3-100 mm depth-of-field HD system, with advanced adaptive auto control, gives you the bright, clear image you need.
Excellent maneuverability
Bending angles of 195°/195° (5.6/2.8 and 5.0/2.2) and 210°/210° (4.2/2.2 and 2.7/1.2), distal tip angulation range, flexible insertion tube & 120° left/right rotation function.
Broad endotherapy instrument compatibility
aScope 5 Broncho is compatible with the most common endotherapy instruments used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the bronchoscopy suite, such as biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, biopsy needles, cryoprobes, and high-frequency tools.
Meet the world’s only single-operator BAL system
The aScope™ 5 BronchoSampler™: our patented, closed-loop sampling system packages the aScope 5 Broncho HD with 60 ml specimen containers for a seamless system. No more concerns about contamination risk, lost samples and needing additional staff.
Single-use like you’ve never seen it before

10 reasons you'll want aScope 5 Broncho in your bronchoscopy suite
It will enable you to:
1. Smoothly navigate the bronchial segments with 195°/195° (up/down) bending angles
The combination of the bending angles, distal tip angulation range and the flexibility of the insertion tube is designed to help you access difficult-to-reach areas in the bronchial tree, not least when working with an endotherapy instrument.
2. Use the instruments you need in the bronchoscopy suite
aScope 5 Broncho is designed for use with the diagnostic and therapeutic endotherapy instruments commonly used in the bronchoscopy suite, such as biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, biopsy needles, cryoprobes and high-frequency tools.
3. Easily manoeuver with 120° left/right rotation
The rotation function is designed to make it easy to adjust the position of the distal end of the insertion tube to ease navigation and insertion of endotherapy instruments.
4. Visualise the bronchial tree with next-level imaging
The combination of a high-resolution camera chip in the bronchoscope and the full-HD Ambu display and processing unit delivers a superior image.
5. Easily take, review and document images and videos
At the touch of a button on the bronchoscope, you can zoom in and out, capture images and videos and review them post-procedure with patients or colleagues. Furthermore, compatibility with PACS servers and electronic medical record software makes documentation smooth and efficient.
6. Stop worrying about leak tests
With the single-use aScope 5 Broncho solution, you get a new scope for every patient. That means there are no concerns about causing damage to aScope 5 Broncho with sharp or active endotherapy instruments and no concerns about failed leak tests.
7. Start or expand bronchoscopy services with minimal capital investment
Freeing up costs and resources paves the way for your hospital to use the freed-up resources for other important tasks. With the aScope 5 Broncho solution, the only item needed to increase capacity is an additional display and processing unit.
8. Free up costs and resources
aScope 5 Broncho reduces the time and resources spent on cleaning. In fact, it completely eliminates the need for reprocessing. In addition, the cost and effort of maintenance and repairs, service contracts, and resources spent on transportation, administration, training and cleaning supplies are removed.
9. Get access to a variety of sizes whenever you need them
aScope 5 can save you from the inefficiency and bother of cancellations and rescheduling.
10. Eliminate the risk of patient-to-patient cross-contamination
The availability of a sterile single-use bronchoscope could be especially relevant in reducing the risk of infection transmission among immunosuppressed pulmonary patient populations.

Single-use bronchoscopy and the environment
Single-use impact equal to or less than reusable
Single-use eliminates a long list of materials used for reprocessing, such as chemicals, water, containers and personal protective equipment. In fact, as the graph below shows, the environmental impact of single-use bronchoscopy is equal to or less than that of reusable.
