SLIDE 23

Here you see an image of the endoscope
going up - we were going up now through the catheter. This is
the opening of the catheter near the vagina. The next thing was
to pass a guide wire. This little wire is five meters long and
sterile and flexible. So it was a big challenge to keep it sterile
as it was passed through one of the channels of the endoscope
up into the vagina. You'll see what the guide wire does in a
minute.
So here we are passing the guide wire in through the endoscope
which is in the catheter. This is the very tip of the guide wire
- it has a yellow rubber cap on it, and this is that opening of
the vagina. And here you can see the guide wire penetrating that
opening.
