The Olympus UCR CO₂ Insufflator is an advanced unit designed to improve patient experience and clinical efficiency during gastrointestinal endoscopy. It utilizes CO₂ (carbon dioxide), which is reabsorbed by the body up to 150 times faster than air, significantly reducing distension and discomfort after the procedure. This translates to more comfortable procedures and faster recovery for the patient.

Designed with practicality in mind, the UCR features a single insufflation start/stop button , maintaining intuitive controls for clinical staff. Its integrated timer automatically stops the flow after the set time, preventing accidental overfilling . Furthermore, it offers three levels of controlled flow , adjusted according to the type of tubing connected, whether reusable or disposable—a feature that provides operational flexibility .

With its compact size (125 × 300 × 150 mm) and weight of 4.9 kg, the UCR integrates easily into most endoscopy stations, taking up minimal space and eliminating the need for an additional cart. It can be easily connected to CO₂ cylinders via PIN/DIN/ISO tubing or directly to standard hospital piping, ensuring greater continuity during extended procedures.
