Infection Prevention Considerations
Trend towards Single-Use Accessories
While proper reprocessing ensures that reusable endoscope accessories meet the required high standards of cleanliness and hygiene, single-use endoscopic components and accessories have also entered the market. These are now recommended as viable alternatives to reusable devices by several guidelines, including those from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and the European Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Nurses and Associates (ESGENA) 1 , as well as the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) 2 .
Patient Safety First
Our single-use procedural efficiency support products are designed with patients in mind, ensuring the best possible experience for patients during the procedure. Olympus always aims for patient comfort and ensures that you get the most from your endoscopic equipment, while reducing the risk of cross contamination and increasing procedural efficiency.
Infection Prevention ConsiderationsSupporting Every Endoscopic Procedure
Our Procedural Efficiency Support Products offer support for basic procedures such as Colorectal Cancer Screening, as well as more advanced procedures such as Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
With our disposable portfolio and excellent irrigation solution, including our flushing pump, single-day use hybrid tubing and single use valve set, we align with state-of-the-art hygiene standards and enable efficient workflow by eliminating the need for reprocessing.
