A rigid endoscope is a medical device used in various diagnostic and surgical procedures to visualize and examine the internal structures of the human body. It consists of a long, slender tube with a lens or an optical system at one end and an eyepiece or a camera attachment at the other end. The lens or optical system captures light and images from the target area inside the body and transmits them to the eyepiece or camera, allowing medical professionals to see the internal structures in real-time.

Limited flexibility associated with rigid endoscopes compared to flexible endoscopes may negatively impact business growth. Rigid endoscopes are typically designed for specific procedures and have a fixed field of view and angle. This limited versatility may lead to reduced adoption in a broader range of medical specialties or procedures, thus limiting their market potential. The rigid nature of these endoscopes can cause discomfort to patients during procedures, potentially leading to a negative perception of the medical facility and its equipment, that can impact customer satisfaction and retention. The limited applications and potential discomfort associated with rigid endoscopes may hinder their market growth potential. This, in turn, can impact revenue and profitability for companies that heavily rely on these devices.
