Exceptional Cutting Performance and Easy,
Fast Exchange Capability for Enhanced Efficiency
in ERCP Sphincterotomy
Tapered tip design for smooth insertion
into strictures and the minor papilla
(KD-V431Q series only)
Pre-curved distal end
for easier knife positioning
Distal marking on the sheath for
improved view field visibility
The distal marking on the sheath
clearly indicates both the center and
cutting position of the knife.

The CleverCut2V provides
efficient cannulation capability
The CleverCut2V has two stiffening wires
to provide stable cannulation and orientation.
Sheath design for stable and
reliable cannulation
Designed to optimize insertion into the
scope, this sheath is narrower at the distal
end and thicker at the proximal end.
This improves handling and ensures smoother
insertion, while also providing excellent
cannulation capability into the papilla. Single-use design for
use-and-dispose convenience Radiopaque tip markings for
optimal visibility under fluoroscopy
Easy identification
of ports
The guidewire port and the
injection port are easily
identified by symbols.
The tapered tip design is ideally suited for cases in
which cannulation is difficult due to strictures or when
insertion into the minor papilla is required. The tapered
tip CleverCut3V is compatible with a 0.025"
diameter guidewire.
The distal ends of the CleverCut2V and CleverCut3V
are pre-curved to achieve stable cannulation capability.
This distal configuration also facilitates easy positioning
of the knife into the papilla.
The CleverCut2V and CleverCut3V
are designed for single use only.
The radiopaque tips of the CleverCut2V
and CleverCut3V provide excellent
visibility under fluoroscopy.
Unique Device Design and Attention to Every Detail of
The CleverCut2V and CleverCut3V Sphincterotomes
CleverCut coating enhances safety
Olympus’s signature CleverCut coating on the
proximal end of the cutting wire minimizes damage
to the surrounding tissue. In addition,
CleverCut Coating reduces the risk of electrical
contact between the wire and the endoscope.
The CleverCut3V wire, injection lumen and guidewire
lumen are arranged to allow easier orientation of the
cutting wire for effective sphincterotomy. Since the
injection lumen and the guidewire lumen are completely
separate, contrast media can be smoothly injected with
a guidewire in place.
The CleverCut3V offers excellent
orientation and smooth injection
