Q & A

Everything pictured included. I bought all as new but some of the probe boxes are pretty banged up but the probes themselves look new.  It was part Of a package deal that included an ear video system that I use everyday 

The eleven photos show all the equipment that comes with the insufflator/illumination source including multiple sized trochars and probes.  If it's in the pictures, it's in the box ready to go.  As disclosed, we never used the unit and the additional probes came in dented/smushed BOXES yet the probes and trochars  themselves were packed in fitted-foam and are in excellent condition.  The entire package was a little over $20k in 2006 and we are happy and still using - and would never part with! - the ear-specific portion of the system.  The $1K asking price reflects a 10 cents on the dollar recoup.  If one does rigid endoscopy, it's a steal!

Any of the tools available could be used for Transcervical Insemination?

My practice is the antithesis of breeding so I honestly could not say.  The hand held endoscope does not have a second port - it's basically just for illumination.  We are including the grasper/biopsy instrument as we have been able to "feed" it alongside the scope when doing nasal work.  I assume you could do the same for insemination straws but have never done so.

 If they were asking about the insufflator and the rigid endoscopy.  Again, the insufflator and associated gadgets were never used by me and were sold to me as new as part of an endoscopy package that I bought for the ear system.  Insufflators use CO2 canisters (which,like O2 need to be obtained from your medical gas supplier) and are typically used for abdominal exploration/biopsies.  The insufflator uses the gas to move organs and tissue away from the site you are interested in so you can see/work on the area.  I could see it being used for insemination (but again, NEVER HERE) I was more interested in the ear portion of the package.
