A bronchoscope has a handle with a suction port and a flexible scope port. A carrier tube extends from the handle and has first and second passageways. The first passageway communicates with the suction port and the second passageway communicates with the flexible scope port. A flexible scope assembly is insertable into the second passageway of the carrier tube. The flexible scope assembly includes a camera wire with a camera on one end and a transmission connector on an opposite end. The flexible scope assembly has a sheath extending around the camera wire that seals the camera wire and the transmission connector and the camera wire and the camera. The camera includes an imaging device and lighting elements. The flexible scope assembly is removably connectable to the handle at the flexible scope port. The flexible scope assembly may be sanitized when removed from the handle.
