Flexible fibreoptic cystoscope (An endoscope with a flexible inserted portion intended for the visual examination and treatment of the bladder and the urinary tract. It is inserted into the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) through the natural urinary orifice during cystoscopy. Anatomical images are transmitted to the user by the device through a fibreoptic bundle. This device is commonly used to examine/diagnose incontinence, the inability to pass urine (retention), recurrent urinary tract infections, and to remove tissue samples/stones/small tumours from the bladder. This is a reusable device.)
