Olympus endoscope insertion tube replacement is a supported repair part designed to replace the worn, kinked, or damaged flexible insertion section of Olympus flexible endoscopes. Built for biomedical technicians, endoscopy repair centres, and clinics that service their own equipment, this insertion tube restores the flexible pathway between the control body and the distal tip so an endoscope can return to service without a full scope replacement. It is supplied new, uninstalled, and available in ten outer-diameter and length combinations to match a range of Olympus flexible endoscope models.
Key Features of This Olympus Endoscope Insertion Tube
- Ten size options outer diameters from 5 mm to 12.8 mm and lengths from 600 mm to 1680 mm, covering a wide range of Olympus flexible endoscope models.
- New condition supplied unused, not refurbished or reconditioned.
- Flexible coil-wrapped construction designed to withstand repeated bending and torque during insertion and withdrawal.
- Certified quality manufactured to ISO13485 and CE requirements for medical device components.
- No battery or hazardous chemical content safe to handle, store, and ship as a standard repair component.
- Single-piece packaging each tube ships individually, making it easy to order only the size needed for a specific repair.
Reliable Repair Component for Flexible Endoscope Servicing
The insertion tube is the flexible section of a fibre or video endoscope that carries the image bundle, light guide, and working channel(s) from the handle to the distal end. Over time, repeated flexing, chemical exposure during reprocessing, and general wear can cause the outer sheath to crack, kink, or delaminate. Replacing the insertion tube rather than the entire endoscope is a common, cost-effective repair path used by independent service centres and in-house biomedical departments.
Flexible, Torque-Resistant Design
The tube’s coil-reinforced sheath is built to flex through repeated insertion and withdrawal cycles while resisting kinking, helping technicians restore smooth scope handling after a repair.
Wide Size Range for Multiple Scope Models
With outer diameters of 5 mm, 5.2 mm, 5.8 mm, 6 mm, 8.8 mm, 9.2 mm, 9.8 mm, 10.5 mm, and 12.8 mm, and lengths from 600 mm to 1680 mm, this listing covers ten distinct configurations so technicians can match the tube to the specific Olympus flexible endoscope model being serviced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an endoscope insertion tube?
The insertion tube is the long, flexible section of an endoscope that is passed into the patient or work area. It houses the image bundle, light guide, and working channel(s) that run between the control handle and the distal tip. When this section is damaged, the endoscope typically cannot be safely used until it is repaired or replaced.
How do I know which size insertion tube I need?
Match the outer diameter and length of the replacement tube to the specifications of your specific Olympus flexible endoscope model. This listing includes ten size combinations, ranging from 5 mm to 12.8 mm in outer diameter and 600 mm to 1680 mm in length.
Is this insertion tube new or refurbished?
It is supplied new and unused.
Can I install this insertion tube myself?
Insertion tube replacement involves disassembling part of the endoscope and should be performed by a qualified biomedical technician or endoscope repair specialist to avoid damaging the internal image bundle, light guide, or working channel.
Does this part meet medical device manufacturing standards?
Yes. It is manufactured to ISO13485 and CE requirements for medical device components.
