Our team had the opportunity to use the new Seesheen pleuroscope. It offers several notable advantages, including improved angulation with a wide range of motion—upwards and downwards —for enhanced maneuverability within the pleural cavity. The device provides high-resolution imaging and features a swivel rotary function that allows smooth and precise navigation. It also incorporates a bending lock design for better scope stability during procedures. It includes a larger internal working channel, and additionally, the system is equipped with a touchscreen control panel that can be connected via HDMI, enabling seamless integration with existing endoscopic platforms and high-definition display.
