Latest advances in endoscopes in the past year
Latest advances in endoscopes in the past year Q: What are the latest advances in endoscopes in the past year?
Drosnock: My answers are framed around the reprocessing of these devices. Therefore, I feel that new sterilization systems (Sterizone VP4 System from TSO3) that are FDA-cleared to sterilize GI scopes are very exciting. As sterilization provides a higher safety margin associated with reprocessing, having FDA-cleared methods that are compatible with these scopes represent a huge advancement in patient care. Single-use disposable endoscopes and duodenoscopes with a disposable cap for the tip are two more of the latest advances in endoscope technology as they can significantly decrease the risk of infection related to improper reprocessing.
