aScope™ 4 Cysto | aScope™ 5 Cysto HD
Maximize Efficiency with Ambu's Single-Use Cystoscope Portfolio
Designed, manufactured and delivered by the leader in single-use endoscopy, Ambu disposable cystoscopes deliver a higher standard of patient care, while maximizing operational efficiency. When combined with the portable aView™ 2 Advance HD monitor or aBox™ 2 display unit, this flexible cystoscopy platform provides an effective solution for urology procedures across any clinical setting.
Portable and Always Available Throughout the Hospital and Beyond
From an inpatient consult to the outpatient clinic — or even a complex OR procedure — you can take Ambu’s lightweight, single-use cystoscopes and portable monitor anywhere, including the emergency room or ICU. No locating and moving a heavy tower — and when you're done, you simply dispose of the scope and move on to the next patient.
“The disposable, easy-to-use nature of the aScope 4 Cysto has really increased my clinic efficiency.”
Dr. Michael Kennelly, a urologist, performs a procedure for an overactive bladder with the Ambu aScope 4 Cysto and aView 2 Advance Display Unit.
STUDY | The Impact of Single-Use Cystoscopes on Clinical Workflow and Patient Consults
Independent research from Duke University shows that utilizing single-use cystoscopes in outpatient clinic procedures improved efficiency, which led to increased patient volume. In this study, single-use cystoscopes increased patient consults from 12 to 21 per day.

Single-Use Efficiency Meets Superior Imaging
The Ambu aScope 5 Cysto HD possesses superior imaging and streamlines workflows, ensuring a sterile device for every patient and enhancing safety in surgical and diagnostic cystoscopies.
Enhanced Imaging
• Provides clear and precise visuals of the bladder and urethra, supporting accurate diagnoses and improving surgical outcomes.
• Advanced Red Contrast (ARC): Improves visibility and enhances vascularity and lesion detection, allowing healthcare providers to identify issues more effectively during procedures.
Increased Workflow Efficiency
• The single-use design eliminates reprocessing, streamlining procedure turnover times and enabling providers to treat more patients without compromising quality.
Sterile Scope for Every Patient
• Guarantees a pre-sterilized device for each procedure, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and enhancing patient safety.
Additional Supporting Evidence
Study: Reducing Infection Risk with Single-Use Cystoscopes
Research from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville indicates that the use of single-use cystoscopes was associated with fewer post-procedure encounters compared to reusable cystoscopes, with a decrease from 7.1% to 2.2%. The study also found lower rates of positive urine cultures and fewer hospitalizations.
Efficiency and User Satisfaction of Single-Use vs Reusable Cystoscopes in a High-Volume Urology Clinic
A high-volume urology clinic evaluated the differences in workflow efficiency and user satisfaction between single-use and reusable cystoscopes. Single-use cystoscopes saved 7:40 of staff time per procedure compared to reusable cystoscopes.
The Cost of Reusable Cystoscopy in the U.S.: A Systematic Review
An outbreak of urinary tract infections was identified in a group of patients following cystoscopies. The investigation uncovered a damaged cystoscope with contamination by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
