Home-Based Self-Administered Nasopharynscopy
Nasopharynscope is a valuable tool in diagnosing Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in patients since 84% of patients display ulcerations.
Aim: To provide a home-based, affordable and easy-to-use diagnosing kit for detecting Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Key features of 5th Generation
- Clear viewing with a specially designed camera lens
- Secure extension and contraction lock
- Tight fit between nylon strings to ensure good power transmission
- Diamond cuts to enhance bending capabilities
- Optical zoom of up to 5 mm due to shooting mechanism
Bending Capability: >90 degrees
Extension and contraction to evade obstacles
Overall Demonstration of Bending and Zooming capability
Specifications
- Outer Diameter: 7 mm
- Length of extension portion:25 mm
- Length of bending segment: 25mm
- Minimum inserted length: 11-15 cm
