Semirigid scopes
The delicate ones other labs turn away
Semirigid scopes sit in an awkward middle ground: too fine for a standard rigid bench, too structured for a flexible lab. We opened our semirigid lab in 2003 and equipped it specifically for this work — which is a large part of why customers call us The Endoscope Specialists.
We provide quality repairs that save you money, ranging from a single optical replacement up to a complete overhaul.
Why our fiber is brighter
We use only the highest quality light fiber that provides the widest light angle. The wider the angle, the more light gets captured at the proximal end and carried down the scope. That means a brighter, more evenly lit field at the distal end, which is exactly what you notice on a small-diameter scope where there is very little room for fiber in the first place.
What we work with
We routinely service instruments with 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm objectives, profiled tubes, multiple working channels and flexible arms.
Repairs we perform
- Optical system replacement on 0.5 mm and larger optics
- Fiber bundle replacement using the highest quality light fiber — a wider light angle gathers more light, giving better fiber optic range and a brighter image
- Stainless steel tubing replacement using industry-standard tubing
- Laser cutting for precision work on fine components
- Laser welding from two dedicated stations, letting us reach difficult angles other shops cannot
- Working channel repair on multi-channel instruments
- Profiled tube and flexible arm repair
- Distal objective replacement from 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm
- Straightening, resealing and complete overhaul
