Novel dedicated plastic cube for infection prevention during gastrointestinal endoscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

ABSTRACT

Controlling infections during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (GI endoscopy) and ERCP is important to prevent the transmission of infection among and through medical staff. The infection, caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, is transmitted by inhalation, contact with infected droplets, or possibly infectious aerosol.
