Rhinoscopy may be indicated in dogs and cats with nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, chronic sneezing, epistaxis, facial distortion, nasal pain, acute severe sneezing, reverse sneezing and abnormal radiographs. Both rigid and flexible endoscopes may be used for rhinoscopy.
Rigid lens systems, such as the Multi-Purpose Rigid Telescope offer the best optics, while flexible endoscopes with tip deflection permit post-rhinoscopy (visualization of the posterior nasal cavity by passing the insertion tube orally into the nasopharynx).
For rigid telescopes, we offer sheaths with working channels and flexible instruments for taking biopsies and removing foreign bodies. All sheaths have stopcocks for flushing or suction.
For the complete list of the instruments see "Multi-Purpose Rigid™ Telescope".
