Development of Endoscopic Protective Sheath on Anti-cross-infection / 医疗卫生装备

ABSTRACT

Objective To improve the unsatisfactory situation of endoscope disinfection and develop endoscopic anti-cross- infection security protection sheath. Methods The protective sheath was processed by using tube and cylinder of medical flexible rubber that was non -toxic, harmless, tasteless and transparent, which size was coincide with the shank of endoscopic fore-end. The openings of fore-end and back-end were designed by immerse extra-strong circle. Every sheath was molded into barrel roll based on the midline axis of twist and bagging standby after disinfection and sterilization. Results The instruction of sheath was streamlined that could be unwound smoothly from back-end and accreted tightly to endoscopic mirror. Conclusion The sheath can be reduced effectively the risk of cross-infection in endoscope examination.
