Two-step markers ensure visibility
in the endoscopic field of view
Two-step markers on the LinearGuideV make
it easy to confirm the movement and position
of the guidewire within the endoscopic field of view.
The LinearGuideV has been designed to provide
superior insertion capability, maximum endoscopic
visibility, and easy device exchange. When the
LinearGuideV’s spiral markings are visible from
the scope tip, the guidewire can be locked to
simplify device exchange.
Endoscopic visibility of the spiral-
markers indicates that
LinearGuideV may be locked in
the V-Groove.

The V-System is a complete system that integrates Olympus endoscopes and EndoTherapy devices.
The revolutionary V-System design offers the option of guidewire manipulation by the physician
or the assistant, allows easier exchange of catheters, and enhances cannulation capability.
Confirm the position of the V-Marking
on the V-System EndoTherapy accessory.
When the V-Marking is completely visible
above the instrument channel port, lift the
forceps elevator to lock the guidewire.
The guidewire is now locked
into the V-Groove.
Completely remove the device.
The V-Groove in the V-Scope forceps
elevator locks LinearGuideV in place
When a guidewire slips out of position, it can
be extremely frustrating. With the new
LinearGuideV, unwanted movement is
a thing of the past. Olympus’ V-System
scopes feature a revolutionary V-Groove
in the V-Scope foreceps elevator that
allows LinearGuideV to be securely
locked in place without any special
attachment when extended 130mm from
the distal end of the scope. The approach
to the bile or pancreatic ducts via the
papilla can be accomplished quickly and easily
without worrying about the guidewire slipping.
