Disposable Scopes
Disposable ScopesI can't help but to chime in on this "elephant in the room" topic, as dubbed by some on SH.
Just take a look at Olympus' IR deck: page 15-20, espeically p19-20
https://www.olympus-global.com/ir/data/pdf/investor_day_2018e_03.pdf
Pentax is #2 behind Olympus' 70% market share, and they are in fact working on a newer generation of reusable ERCP scopes that can better withstand sterilization process
I agree there are many questions on TSO3, but reusuable scopes in ERCPs (and likely colonoscopes) in the forseeable future shouldn't be one.
