It weighs less than 1 kg and is compatible with Android, Windows, and iOS. This model is suitable for small animal examinations (gastrointestinal, respiratory) and can be used in mobile settings.
Portable WiFi Veterinary Endoscope — RAE-105Pro
The RAE-105Pro adds WiFi connectivity to the same 5.8 mm, 1-megapixel platform, enabling wireless real-time image sharing. It is classified as a Portable WiFi Veterinary Endoscope and is ideal for team consultations during field procedures.
Portable WiFi Veterinary Endoscope — RAE-107
The RAE-107 features a 1000 mm working length (still 5.8 mm outer diameter, 2.0 mm channel) with high-definition resolution, 360° directional control, water/air supply, suction, and a forceps working channel. It is designed to be operated by a single veterinarian and supports WiFi connectivity.
Portable USB Veterinary Gastroscope — RAE-109
The RAE-109 is specifically marketed as a Portable USB Veterinary Gastroscope. It shares the same 5.8 mm, 360° steering, and 1-megapixel specifications, with a net weight under 1 kg. It is intended for gastrointestinal examinations in small animals.
Portable Veterinary Endoscope for Large Animals — VET-8528
For large animals (e.g., horses, cattle), the VET-8528 model offers a working length of 1500 mm, outer diameter 8.5 mm, and inner channel diameter 2.8 mm. It delivers 1080P high-definition imaging with 180° bending and 360° rotation control. This device is designed for gastrointestinal examinations in equine and other large species.
Portable Veterinary Gastroscope for Large Animals — VET-5820
The VET-5820 is a slimmer large-animal gastroscope (5.8 mm outer diameter, 2.0 mm channel, 1500 mm length) also featuring 1080P HD, 180° bending, and 360° rotation. It is suitable for gastrointestinal procedures where a narrower insertion tube is needed.
Veterinary Flexible Otoscope — RAE-201
The RAE-201 is a veterinary flexible otoscope for ear and nasal examination with a working length of 600 mm, outer diameter 3.1 mm, inner channel 1.2 mm, 180° bending (up/down only), and 160,000 pixels. It is designed for small animal ear and nasal diagnoses.
Portable Smart Veterinary Otoscope — RAE-500
The RAE-500 is a portable smart veterinary otoscope with a 1.85-inch screen, 720×720 video resolution, 3.9 mm lens diameter, 1 megapixel camera, 6 LED lights, and built-in 8 GB memory. It is used for ear examinations in small animals.
All models are constructed with plastic, stainless steel, medical-grade polymer, and optical glass, and are reusable after sterilization.
Common Application Scenarios
Based on JeetVet’s application scenarios, veterinary endoscopes are used in the following settings:
- Small Animal Endoscopy — for examining the duodenum (inflammatory bowel disease, tumors, blockages), trachea and bronchi (tracheal collapse, bronchitis, foreign bodies), ear flushing, nasal biopsies, joint procedures, and abdominal explorations (ovariectomy, splenectomy).
- Large Animal Endoscopy — similar functions adapted for equine and bovine patients, requiring longer insertion tubes (1500 mm).
- Avian & Exotic Animal Endoscopy — minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedures in birds and reptiles.
- Endoscopy for Animal Ear and Nose — foreign body removal, flushing, culture sampling for nasal discharge.
These scenarios are common in countries including the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, the United States, and Vietnam.
Comparison of Portable vs. Traditional Veterinary Endoscopes
While traditional (cart-based) endoscopy systems offer robustness and integrated suction/insufflation, portable models like those from JeetVet provide distinct advantages for mobile clinics and smaller hospitals. The table below compares representative portable models from JeetVet against general traditional systems (based on industry knowledge; no proprietary competitor data is used).
| Feature | Portable (e.g., RAE-105Pro) | Traditional Cart System (Industry Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | < 1 kg | 30–80 kg |
| Connectivity | USB / WiFi | Generally wired monitor |
| Outer Diameter Range | 5.8 mm (small animal) | 5.0–9.0 mm typical |
| Working Length | 1000–1500 mm | 1000–2000 mm |
| Power Source | USB from laptop/power bank | Mains power |
| Field Portability | High (single operator) | Low (requires cart and power) |
| Typical Cost | Lower capital investment | Higher capital investment |
Note: Comparison based on general industry knowledge. Specific competitor data is not claimed.
How to Select the Right Veterinary Endoscope for Your Practice
- Identify target animal size. For cats and dogs (small animals), choose a 5.8 mm diameter scope with 1000 mm length. For horses and cattle, use 8.5 mm or 5.8 mm with 1500 mm length.
- Determine primary procedures. Ear/nasal exams benefit from the flexible otoscope RAE-201 (3.1 mm). Gastrointestinal work requires a gastroscope with a working channel (≥2.0 mm).
- Choose connectivity. USB models (RAE-105, RAE-109) are cost-effective for single-user setups; WiFi models (RAE-105Pro, RAE-107) enable live sharing for training or second opinions.
- Verify image quality. Look for pixel count (1 megapixel or 1080P HD) and field of view (120°).
- Consider sterilization compatibility. All listed JeetVet models are reusable after standard sterilization.
