Upper Airway Scope

The upper airway scope provides an effective way to evaluate a wide range of equine medical problems, including:
  • respiratory disease diagnosis
  • washes of trachea
  • samples for culture
  • laryngeal/pharyngeal dysfunction such as "roarers"
  • guttural pouch evaluation (stylohyoid osteopathy, guttural pouch empyema, tumors, fungal diseases).
