OPTIM Incorporated to Unveil New ENTity Scope at American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery (AAO-HNSF) Foundation’s Annual Meeting & OTO-EXPO

STURBRIDGE, Mass…Optim Incorporated, premiere manufacturer of flexible endoscopes and related accessories, announced today that it will unveil its revolutionary new ENTity NasoView, Flexible Nasopharyngoscope at the AAO-HNS OTO Expo in Washington, D.C. this week.

What is described as “world’s largest gathering of otolaryngologists,” the AAO-HNSF and OTO-EXPO will bring together the industry’s top medical specialists with the latest diagnostic instruments and technologies.

With its self contained, patented LED-Light Engine, ENTity stands alone in the world of flexible endoscopy. By freeing the physician from the “tug” of light guides, external light sources and the need for AC/DC wall power, ENTity provides unparalleled portability and ease of use. ENTity, which has been several years in the making, is the brightest and lightest LED-illuminated endoscope available. This is all provided in a uniquely compact, ergonomically superior package.

ENTity can also be coupled to any standard video camera system or for better video imaging, such as Optim’s VideoDirect system, which will also be on display.

According to Thomas V. Root, President and CEO of the Sturbridge, MA-based Company, “To have a portable scope with unparalleled light output will enable physicians act faster, regardless of whether it’s in the ER, at the hospital, or in their office. This truly paves the way for a new era in endoscopy.” Root says ENTity’s 3-year warranty on the LED-Light Engine, combined with its other design elements, will also provide a lower cost of ownership than conventional scopes.
