Endoscopy Engineering Services
OEMs provide excellent support, backed by detailed product knowledge and direct manufacturer resources. For many organisations, however, the challenge lies in managing the associated costs, turnaround times, and equipment availability.
Istela offers a high-quality independent alternative. Our engineers have received specialist training from leading internationally recognised endoscope repair specialists and support all major brands, including Olympus, Pentax, Fujifilm, and Karl Storz. We deliver the same commitment to quality, safety, and compliance, with a more flexible and cost-effective approach. With competitive pricing, faster turnaround times, responsive support, and access to loan equipment, we help healthcare providers maximise equipment availability, reduce downtime, and achieve greater value from their endoscopy assets.
“
We had been with our OEM provider for years. The quality was never in question, but the cost and the wait times were becoming impossible to justify. Switching to Istela gave us the same standard of service at a price that actually made sense for our budget.”

Endoscopy Department Lead, Private Healthcare Group
The independent endoscopy repair market has changed significantly in recent years, with providers becoming part of larger healthcare groups and international organisations. Whilst this can bring scale, it results in increased overheads, less flexibility, and pricing structures that no longer reflect the expectations of customers seeking an independent alternative.
Istela is independently owned and focused solely on delivering responsive, cost-effective endoscopy support. Our engineers provide maintenance and repair services across all major brands, including Olympus, Pentax, Fujifilm, and Karl Storz. Unlike providers that rely on complex organisational structures or subcontracted services, all repairs are managed by our own highly trained engineers, giving customers direct access to technical expertise, competitive pricing, faster decision-making, and a more personalised service.
“
Repair delays and limited access to loan endoscopes were a constant frustration with our previous provider. Since partnering with Istela, we've experienced fast, dependable repairs and immediate access to loan equipment when needed. The difference to our endoscopy service has been remarkable.”
