Integration of Hyperion 300 and Awaiba Video Sensor Leads to Smaller, Less Expensive Flexible Endoscope

Surgeons can now explore parts of the human body with significantly more light and a higher resolution, higher quality image than was previously possible. Until the recent launch of the Hyperion 300™ Light Source with Integrated Awaiba Video Processor, the image quality from flexible endoscopes made it difficult to see into areas of the body that could only be reached with an in incision no smaller than 5mm or through a natural orifice.
