Could you please give some advice on controlling up and down angulation for small hands?"

[@OlympusMedicalEurope]

Hi @LilLali-w9g, thanks for your question! Our latest endoscopes feature ErgoGrip technology. ErgoGrip is designed to increase user comfort and improve scope handling. It accommodates users with smaller hands, offering improved accessibility to the angulation controls and remote switches. It is lightweight and more ergonomic. Please find more information here: www.olympus-europa.com/medical/en/Products-and-Solutions/Products/Product/EVIS-X1.html. For our predecessor endoscopes, you could use a knob angulation (MAJ-1072) to optimize your endoscope handling with smaller hands. Please contact your Olympus representative to learn more.
