Why Pulmonary Teams Need a 2-Piece Bronchoscope Valve Set

Bringing BullDog® Proven Performance to Pulmonary

Diversatek Healthcare is proud to bring the proven BullDog® single-use valve portfolio to pulmonary care with the launch of BullDog® Disposable Bronchoscope Valves. The BullDog brand is known for high-performance and procedural efficiency in endoscopy procedures, and now that same trusted performance is available for bronchoscopy. The durable suction and biopsy valves are optimized to support procedural control, stable visibility, and easy setup for pulmonary teams.

A 2-Piece Set Designed for Procedural Consistency

The BullDog Disposable Bronchoscope Valves are conveniently packaged as a two-piece set, including a suction valve and a biopsy valve. For pulmonary teams, the two-piece set reduces setup variability and provides immediate access to both valves in a single package, supporting efficient workflows across multiple procedures.

The two-piece set also streamlines purchasing workflows by simplifying ordering and inventory management. Instead of identifying two separate part numbers, purchasing departments can order the suction and biopsy valves together using a single part number.

Controlled Suction Through Responsive Actuation

Effective suction control is a key component of bronchoscopy. Clinicians rely on precise suction to effectively manage fluids, maintain airway patency, and preserve visualization to support safe, efficient procedures.

The single-use BullDog Bronchoscope suction valve is expertly engineered for responsive control. Its proportional actuation ensures the suction level corresponds predictably to button travel. Suction is initiated early with a light press and increases as greater pressure is applied. This enables clinicians to adjust suction intentionally throughout the procedure.

In addition, the valve’s shorter activation distance supports more precise control and faster response when suction is needed, especially during the initial suction. The activation button is easily identifiable by its distinct blue color, supporting procedural efficiency and minimizing potential delays.

Bench Testing Highlights

Bench testing shows performance improvements that support controlled suction throughout bronchoscopy:

• 60% faster* suction activation
• 38% gentler* suction flow for initial suction

This combination of responsiveness, control, and a gentler initial suction supports consistent visualization, airway patency, and uninterrupted procedural workflow, which are key clinical priorities for pulmonary teams.

Durable Biopsy Valve Design Built for Repeated Device Use

The BullDog biopsy valve needs to remain intact during placement and removal, and maintain a smooth performance through repeated device insertions and withdrawals during a bronchoscopy. The single-use valve is engineered for easy installation during procedural setup, reducing the physical strain for bronchoscopy technicians completing multiple setups throughout the day.

Bench Testing Highlight

• 65% less force* to install on the biopsy port

This recent customer feedback on our biopsy valve demonstrates its durability, offering bronchoscopy technicians a new option to support smoother, more efficient procedural workflows.

“It is easier to put the BullDog biopsy valve onto the scope. Our previous biopsy valve frequently split when putting it on the scope. We often had to tear it apart to remove it, and it can’t be put back on once removed.”

Compatible Bronchoscopes for BullDog Valves

Our single-use suction and biopsy valves function with the Olympus® 160/180/190/240/260/290 Series Bronchoscopes. Pulmonary teams can confidently integrate the Bulldog valves into existing bronchoscopy workflows without changing established setup processes.

Proven Experience Expanded to Pulmonary

Although this marks our first device designed specifically for bronchoscopy procedures, Diversatek Healthcare brings more than 40 years of experience in therapeutic endoscopy devices. Pulmonary teams can expect the same level of reliable performance and exceptional service that GI teams have come to trust.

“Customer insights highlighted an opportunity to improve procedural efficiency and simplify ordering, leading us to package the suction and biopsy valves together in a single, standardized set for pulmonary teams,” stated Stuart Tallmadge, Vice President of Diversatek Healthcare.
