Buy Endoscopy Camera Head in Nigeria.

Where can I buy an endoscopy camera head in Nigeria?

Request a quotation from Franance for the exact camera-head model you need, or for the platform you are trying to complete. Send the manufacturer, model or item number, quantity, destination, and the installed system the head must work with.

If you are replacing a damaged or worn head, the most useful information is the model and serial number of the head you have now, plus the model of the control unit or link it connects to. If you are equipping a new endoscopy room, send the approved specification or the scope and display schedule so the camera head can be quoted in context rather than as an isolated item.

The listings are quotation enquiries, not online checkout. Franance does not publish prices for these items, and the catalogue does not claim stock, lead time or local approval. Those details are confirmed in writing against your enquiry. The live category listing and the brand-filtered listings linked in this section show the three heads currently catalogued.

What is an endoscopy camera head, and how is it different from a coupler, control unit and scope?

A camera head is the handheld sensor unit that captures the image and sends it through its cable to a control unit or processing link. It is a separate component from the scope in front of it, the coupler or eyepiece connection that joins them, the control unit behind it, the light source and the monitor.

Keeping these roles apart prevents the most common quotation mistakes.

The scope, whether rigid or flexible, collects the image and carries light. It has its own optical connection. The coupler, sometimes called an adaptor, is the mechanical and optical interface between the scope eyepiece and the camera head. On some designs it is part of the head; on others it is a separate, selectable item, so ask whether the model you want includes it. KARL STORZ lists a standard eyepiece connection for both the TH120 and the TH112.

The camera control unit, or the link or processor, receives the head's signal and produces the video output. KARL STORZ lists the TH120 as compatible with IMAGE1 S 4U-LINK and the TH112 as compatible with IMAGE1 S X-LINK. A head bought without the matching link or control unit cannot produce a picture on its own.

The light source supplies illumination to the scope through a light guide and is a different purchase from the camera. The monitor displays the processed image. The related guides on processors and light sources, endoscopy monitors and endoscopes cover those parts of the chain.

Which endoscopy camera heads does Franance list?

Three camera-head records are listed from two manufacturers. All three are components, and each needs a compatible system around it. Confirm the current ordering code and your destination's approval with Franance before relying on any detail below.

KARL STORZ states that the IMAGE1 S 4U TH120 has a 4K sensor at 3840 × 2160 pixels, a single CMOS sensor, 3× digital zoom, a 300 cm non-detachable cable and a standard eyepiece connection. It lists compatibility with IMAGE1 S 4U-LINK and states that the head is not autoclavable, while listing wipe disinfection, immersion, hydrogen peroxide compatibility and single-use sleeves.

KARL STORZ states that the IMAGE1 S HX FI TH112 outputs Full HD at 1920 × 1080 pixels from a single CMOS sensor, with 2× digital zoom, X-Line connection, a 300 cm non-detachable cable and compatibility with IMAGE1 S X-LINK. It also lists a standard eyepiece connection and is not autoclavable.

Olympus describes the CH-S400 as a 4K camera head with a 4K Exmor R CMOS sensor and optical-fibre transmission. It lists XZ-E and XZ-Q head types at 50 × 63 × 142 mm and 45 × 58 × 161 mm. V-PRO and autoclave compatibility is stated only for the XZ-EA type, so you must name the exact type when you enquire.

How do I check camera head compatibility with my endoscopy platform?

Compatibility is decided by the manufacturer's platform, not by the physical shape of the connector. Give Franance the model of your control unit or link, the camera-head model you are replacing or adding, and the scopes that will be attached.

For KARL STORZ, the two listed heads sit in different connection families. The TH120 connects with 4U-Line and is listed with 4U-LINK; the TH112 connects with X-Line and is listed with X-LINK. They are not interchangeable simply because both belong to the IMAGE1 S platform. A 4K head will not deliver a 4K picture through a Full HD chain, and a Full HD head on a 4K chain does not become a 4K head.

For Olympus, the manufacturer page for the CH-S400 does not name the video system, processor or control unit it pairs with. Do not assume it fits any Olympus tower. Send the model and software details of your existing Olympus platform so compatibility can be confirmed with the manufacturer before an order is placed.

Also confirm the scope side. Send the references of the rigid scopes you use, such as laparoscopes, arthroscopes or hysteroscopes, so the optical coupling can be reviewed together with the head. Cross-brand pairings, for example an Olympus head on a KARL STORZ link, should not be assumed.

Should I choose a 4K or Full HD endoscopy camera head?

Choose by the entire chain, not the head alone. A 4K head delivers its listed resolution only when the control unit, cable path and display also support it. If your monitor and processor are Full HD, a 4K head may add cost without a visible improvement.

The TH120 and CH-S400 are listed as 4K; the TH112 is listed as Full HD. For a new room that will be specified for several years, ask for a 4K-ready chain and confirm that the monitor, recorder and any routing equipment can carry the signal. For an existing Full HD platform, the right purchase is usually the head your control unit already supports.

Digital zoom is listed at 3× for the TH120 and 2× for the TH112. Treat that as a published specification, not as a statement about clinical image quality. Your clinical team should judge image performance on the scopes and procedures they actually use, ideally with a review arranged through the supplier where that is possible.

Olympus describes a 4K Exmor R CMOS sensor with optical-fibre transmission, while KARL STORZ lists a CMOS sensor and a non-detachable cable. These facts affect cable handling and replacement planning more than they affect the headline choice, so keep them in your specification.

How are camera heads cleaned, and what should I ask before buying?

Ask for the manufacturer's current reprocessing instructions for the exact head and type before purchase, because they differ between models and even between variants of one model. This guide is a buying checklist, not a cleaning or sterilisation protocol.

The two KARL STORZ heads are listed as not autoclavable, with wipe disinfection, immersion and hydrogen peroxide compatibility and single-use sleeves under the manufacturer's stated conditions. The Olympus CH-S400 is listed with V-PRO and autoclave compatibility for the XZ-EA type only. A head that your sterile processing department cannot reprocess with its existing equipment creates a workflow problem after delivery.

Before ordering, tell Franance which methods your facility has available and which it requires for camera heads. Ask whether sleeves or covers are needed, whether they are included, and who supplies replacements. Because the cable on the listed KARL STORZ heads is non-detachable, cable damage is a head-level repair question, so ask about repair or replacement responsibilities in writing.

How much does an endoscopy camera head cost in Nigeria?

Franance quotes the price after it knows the exact head, the platform and the quantity. The catalogue does not publish prices, and manufacturer pages from other countries are not a Nigerian price list.

Price depends on the model and type, whether a coupler, link or sleeves are included, quantity, delivery location, and the support terms attached to the supply. A head-only price and a head-plus-link price are different purchases, so ask for the quotation to list each item separately and to state what you must already own.

When comparing offers, check that every supplier is quoting the same model, the same resolution class and the same inclusions. Ask for the validity period, payment terms, expected supply time and warranty terms in writing. Do not treat any figure that is not in a written Franance quotation as a price commitment.

What documents, warranty and support should come with a camera head in Nigeria?

Ask for the model-specific product information, the manufacturer's current reprocessing instructions, the written warranty terms and a named route for repair enquiries. Request them in the quotation, not after delivery.

KARL STORZ states on its product pages that approvals and availability vary by country and advises confirming local availability and authorisation before ordering. Treat that as a real step in your purchase: ask Franance to confirm the position for the specific model you want. Franance does not claim a local service entitlement or approval that the manufacturer pages do not establish.

Record the serial number of each head on receipt and keep it with the control unit record. That makes later repair, warranty and compatibility enquiries much faster. If the head is part of a tender, attach the specification clauses it must meet so the supply can be checked against them at acceptance.

Can Franance deliver endoscopy camera heads across Nigeria?

Yes, delivery to a Nigerian facility can be discussed with Franance. Send the full receiving address, city and state, the contact who will receive the item, and the date you need it by.

Camera heads are delicate, so ask how the item will be packed and who inspects it on receipt. Hospitals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Ibadan and elsewhere should state any access or security procedures that affect delivery. If the head is part of a wider room installation, say so, because delivery timing may depend on the control unit and display.

A national enquiry is not a promise of stock in every state or of a fixed installation date. Franance confirms timing against the exact items and destination in the written quotation.

How do I request an endoscopy camera head quotation from Franance?

Use the contact form and list the manufacturer, model or type, quantity, your installed platform and the delivery location. The more exact the model references, the faster a compatible quotation can be prepared.

Include the camera-head model, including the Olympus type if applicable; the control unit or link model; the scope references and the work they serve; whether you need a coupler, sleeves or a replacement cable; your reprocessing method; the display and recording equipment; and any tender requirements.

A quote enquiry does not reserve stock or confirm compatibility by itself. Franance will come back with the proposed configuration, which you should review with your biomedical engineer and clinical users before approving the order. Keep the accepted quotation with the equipment record for future additions and support enquiries.
