fiberoptic bronchoscope

A fiberoptic bronchoscope is a thin, flexible tube equipped with a tiny camera and light at its tip. It is inserted through the mouth or nose, down the throat, into the lungs. This device allows doctors to look inside the airways, examine lung tissue, and collect samples if needed. It’s commonly used to diagnose lung problems, remove blockages, or treat certain conditions safely and comfortably. The fiberoptic technology provides clear images, helping physicians make accurate assessments without invasive surgery.
