 Why do I need to use a tip protector for my endoscopes?

During cleaning, reprocessing, transporting and storing endoscopes the instrument routinely comes into contact with hard surfaces that can damage the scope tip and lens. Hard surfaces include plastic bines, stainless steel sinks, hard countertops and other surfaces. Cost to repair endoscope tips and lens vary greatly and can cost well over $1,000.00 to repair. Worse yet, any time an endoscope is out for repair your facility is forced to operate without that scope causing extra pressure on scope reprocessing timelines. In the worst case, lack of sufficient endoscope inventory may force you to delay and reschedule procedures.

 Why is Expandalbe Mesh a Better Alternative to Foam Tip Protectors?

MedService Repair expandable mesh tip protectors provide increased infection prevention and superior protection when compared to foam tip protectors.
