Frequently asked questions
Is precise orientation guaranteed?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Tapered Tip Papillotome is engineered for highly reliable and predictable placement during endoscopic procedures.
- Guaranteed Orientation: The device is designed to maintain consistent alignment, orienting precisely between 11 and 1 o’clock during operation.
- Enhanced Precision: This stable orientation is crucial for accurate sphincterotomy and cannulation, especially when utilizing the radiopaque distal tip for clear fluoroscopic visualization of the location.
Does it support the 0.035" guidewire size?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Tapered Tip Triple Lumen Papillotome is compatible with the standard size often used in these procedures. It is specifically designed to accommodate a 0.035” (0.089 mm) guidewire.
Does the radiopaque tip ensure high visibility?
Yes, the radiopaque distal tip is specifically designed to provide enhanced visualization and accurate orientation during procedures.
This feature allows clinicians to:
- Confirm the precise location of the tip using fluoroscopy.
- Aid in accurate positioning, especially during interventions involving the bile duct.
What is the standard catheter length?
The standard catheter length for the ConMed Apollo 3 Tapered Tip Triple Lumen Papillotome is 190 cm. This length is configured for use in specialized endoscopic interventions, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
How is precise placement and orientation ensured?
The ConMed Apollo 3 Papillotome is engineered with several features to guarantee precise placement and stable orientation throughout endoscopic procedures:
- Guaranteed Stable Orientation: The device is specifically designed to orient reliably between the 11 and 1 o’clock positions during use.
- Enhanced Visualization Aids:
- A radiopaque distal tip ensures clear and accurate location tracking under fluoroscopy.
- Color-coded cutting wire markers provide excellent endoscopic visibility, helping clinicians determine the papillotome’s depth and the cutting wire’s exact location.
- Triple Lumen Design: Features a color-coded guidewire port to eliminate confusion and simplify handling, particularly in low-light settings.
- Scope Exit Cue: An exit marker on the shaft provides a visual reminder for smoothly withdrawing the instrument from the scope.
Does the papillotome use a durable monofilament cutting wire?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Tapered Tip Papillotome uses a monofilament cutting wire. Additionally, it incorporates color-coded cutting wire markers on the shaft. These markers are crucial for:
- Endoscopic Visibility: Providing clear visual confirmation during the procedure.
- Depth and Location: Helping clinicians accurately determine the papillotome’s depth and the precise location of the cutting wire.
Is the orientation guaranteed between 11 and 1 o'clock?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Papillotome features a specific Orientation Guarantee to ensure consistent positioning.
It is engineered to consistently orient between 11 and 1 o’clock during use, which helps clinicians maintain accurate positioning throughout endoscopic procedures.
Are there various tip and wire lengths for versatility?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Tapered Tip Triple Lumen Papillotome offers a range of tip and cutting wire lengths to accommodate diverse procedural requirements.
Available options include:
- Tip Lengths: 5 mm, 8 mm, 20 mm
- Cutting Wire Lengths: 20 mm, 30 mm
Does the papillotome have an exit marker for clear visibility?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Tapered Tip Triple Lumen Papillotome features an exit marker on its shaft. This marker provides a clear visual cue to the clinician, indicating when the papillotome is exiting the scope, which enhances control and precision during procedures.
Is the Apollo 3 Papillotome compatible with Olympus active cords?
Yes, the ConMed Apollo 3 Papillotome is specifically designed for compatibility and accommodates an Olympus active cord. This feature ensures seamless integration during endoscopic procedures.
