Key benefits include portability, ease of setup, and reduced reliance on specialised staff, enabling faster interventions in operating rooms, ICUs, and emergency departments. These scopes improve workflow efficiency, support hybrid surgical procedures, and offer teaching advantages through integrated video capture. While reusable scopes remain essential for complex therapeutic cases, single-use scopes complement them effectively. Future opportunities lie in outpatient and ward-based endoscopy, which could potentially reduce waiting lists and improve patient care.
