AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The continuous removal of endoscopic devices from endoscopes leads to loosening of epoxy joints and increased wear and tear, making cleaning and reprocessing difficult and potentially leading to contamination and infections.
Method used
A removal system with a gripping element and an insertion element featuring a collapsible elongate shaft that expands to create a friction fit within the device, allowing for precise and atraumatic removal by distributing force both internally and externally.
Benefits of technology
The system enables precise, predictable, and less traumatic removal of endoscopic devices, reducing wear on the endoscope and minimizing damage to sealed areas, thereby enhancing safety and extending the useful life of the equipment.
