What is it indicated for?

Aesculap's Paediscope is intended for use in endoscope-assisted microneurosurgery and pure neuroendoscopy (i.e. ventriculoscopy) for direct visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures such as ventriculostomies, biopsies and removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
