A single-use sphincterotome with a rotatable catheter tip for endoscopic sphincterotomy of the biliary or pancreatic sphincter.

In which cases?

  • Sphincterotomy before stone extraction, to open the orifice enough for the stone.
  • The orifice enlarged before a biliary or pancreatic stent is placed.
  • A precut or needle-knife access after standard cannulation has failed.
  • Billroth II anatomy, where the papilla is approached from the other direction.

What makes it different?

  • The catheter tip rotates, so the cutting direction is set at the papilla without exchanging the device.
  • Black ring marks on the cutting wire, so the depth of the cut is read off the image.
  • Two and three lumen versions inject contrast with the guidewire in place.
  • Monofilament, braided and semi-insulated cutting wires in 20, 25 and 30 mm.

Frequently asked questions

Which version goes over a guidewire?

The order number answers it: double lumen sphincterotomes, the numbers ending in GW, DL and TRL and the single lumen Billroth II version OE 112 22FD can be placed over a guidewire, up to 0.035 inch. The single lumen needle knife versions carry no guidewire access.

What are the generator limits?

Maximum power 300 W and maximum high-frequency voltage 1600 V peak, with the Olympus 3 mm standard connector on the handle. The match between the generator and the active cord is checked every time.
