With the rapid development of the animal research field, the demand for small animal endoscopy will continue to grow, and it will gradually replace traditional research methods with technological advancements.
It can enter the stomach through the oral cavity or enter the body through other natural orifices. Using small animal endoscopy, lesions that cannot be seen by X-rays can be observed, such as ulcers or tumors in the stomach, inflammation or tumors in the intestine, and lesions in other abdominal organs. This helps scientists to formulate treatment plans and research directions more quickly.
Small Animal Endoscopy
Small animal endoscopy is a detection instrument that integrates traditional optics, ergonomics, precision machinery, modern electronics, mathematics, software, and other fields. With a diameter of only 2 millimeters, it can achieve zero trauma to the anus, intestinal mucosa, esophagus, stomach, and other parts of small animals, and can repeatedly examine the same batch of samples.
In addition to continuously monitoring the activity and severity of diseases inside the body and observing the success of experiments as early as possible, small animal endoscopy can also perform operations such as biopsy and visual injection under the microscope. It can also obtain high-quality images and videos to support literature publication, and solve related problems in the fields of gastrointestinal inflammation, tumor research, drug screening, and animal modeling in small animals.
Endoscopy Application Fields
Endoscopy for small animals such as rats and mice, including colonoscopy, gastroscopy, laryngoscopy, esophagoscopy, hysteroscopy, and otolaryngoscopy for the examination of inflammation and tumors, can be applied to research related diseases of the digestive tract, respiratory system, ears, nose, throat, obstetrics and gynecology.
