Interventional bronchoscopy technology

Interventional bronchoscopy is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat lung and airway conditions. During the procedure, a doctor uses a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope, which has a camera and special tools, to look inside the lungs and air passages. This allows them to biopsy tissue, remove blockages, drain fluid, or place stents to open narrowed airways. This technology enhances patient care by providing less invasive treatment options compared to traditional surgery, leading to quicker recovery times and improved outcomes for respiratory diseases.
