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.
The convenient C-Hook allows the device handle to be attached to the endoscope’s control section, putting
it within easy reach of the endoscopist. With the device handle right at hand, the endoscopist can maneuver
the guidewire, inject contrast media, and manipulate the handle — all while keeping a grip on the scope
control section.
The exclusive V-Marking is located on the proximal side of the sheath. When this marking reaches the
channel port on the scope’s control section, it indicates that the device tip has reached the distal end of
the scope and the V-Groove forceps elevator may be lowered. When withdrawing the device from the
scope, the same marking indicates when to raise the elevator to lock the guidewire.

The Innovative V-System Design Lets You Proceed
with Confidence and Efficiency
The Innovative V-System Exchange Capability Makes
Olympus' ERCP Cannulae Even More Efficient
Excellent visibility under
fluoroscopy
The platinum marking at the distal
end ensures that the tip is clearly
visible under fluoroscopy.
Wide selection of cannulae
A full line-up of 8 models of different
tip designs and diameters is available
to meet every clinical requirement.
Smooth cannulation of
even minor or
constricted papilla
The X-PressV’s cross-cut round
tip is not only ideally suited for
smooth cannulation of the papilla
of Vater, but is also equally effective
for cannulation of the minor or
constricted papilla.
Expanded guidewire
compatibility
Compatible with guidewires of
various sizes.
Comprehensive distal
marking system
Cannulation depth is indicated by
markings at 3mm intervals at the
distal end.
Single-use design for
convenience and reliability
All the cannulae in this line are
designed for single use only.
