Cellvizio®: a unique probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy system


Smarter biopsies. Real time information. Immediate intervention.

Cellvizio® GI is a complete, innovative and easy-to-use endomicroscopy solution designed to help physicians advance their GI endoscopy practice :


  • Cellvizio's Confocal Miniprobes for EGD and Colonoscopy are compatible with any endoscope with an operating channel of 2.8 mm or more
  • Cellvizio's Cholangioflex miniprobe for ERCP can be used with a direct catheter approach or with cholangioscopes having an operating channel of 1.2 mm or more.
  • Cellvizio provides video-rate sequences of tissues at the microscopic level, with a resolution between 1 and 3.5 microns, at depths up to 150 microns
  • It is intuitive, easy-to-use and requires only very brief training
  • Cellvizio® GI is FDA cleared and CE marked

Confocal miniprobes™
Cellvizio®GI is a unique, versatile and innovative complete solution for smooth dynamic microscopic imaging during GI endoscopy. The confocal miniprobes - the key element of Cellvizio®GI - are so thin they can fit through the operating channel of almost any endoscope. Placed in contact with the mucosa, they deliver real-time video sequences of the tissue microarchitecture at 12 images per second.

Confocal miniprobes™ have diameters of 0.93 to 2.5 mm compatible with nearly any video-endoscope (including autofluorescence, high magnification, spectral imaging, NBI,...) and allow almost any anatomical configuration.


Intuitive and easy to use
Imaging is as simple as placing the miniprobe in contact with the tissue and occurs in real time at 12 images per second, thanks to the Laser Scanning Unit (optoelectronics element) and to a dedicated software for sequence acquisition and on-the-fly image processing.

Wide endoscopic field of view remains available at all time.
