Rigid scopes

Rebuilt to OEM standards, verified at every checkpoint

Once we receive your repair, our skilled technicians evaluate the scope for damage and our front desk sends you the quote. If a prior vendor has modified the scope, we tell you — that is information you need before deciding whether to repair or replace.

Repairs are performed back to OEM standards using German-engineered optics. Our rigid lab expanded in 2005 to include operating and offset scopes, and we run our own optical bench, so rod lens trains, fiber bundles, outer tubes and distal windows are all rebuilt here.

Every rigid scope moves through a multi-point inspection with multiple QC checkpoints: microscopic examination, camera testing, autoclave evaluation and leak testing.
