What Tubes and Channels Are Included in Endoscope Spare Parts?

The various tubes and channels of endoscope spare parts are designed to replace worn or damaged components. Some common components include:
(1) Insertion Tube: An endoscopic tube inserted into the body during surgery
(2) Light Guide: Transmits light from the light source to the endoscope tip.
(3) Biopsy Channel: An instrument such as forceps or a biopsy tool is passed through the endoscope to sample tissue.
(4) Air/Water Channeling: Spraying air or water into a body cavity to remove debris or improve visualization.
The manufacturer, uzzmed.com, offers various tubes and channel spare parts, such as angulation wires, biopsy channels, coil pipes, insertion tubes, light guide bundles, and universal cords.

Why are Endoscope Spare Parts Easily Damaged?

(1) The more an endoscope is used, its spare parts will wear out.
(2) These parts can be easily damaged if not handled correctly during assembly, disassembly, or maintenance.
(3) The biological fluids that endoscopes come into contact with during medical procedures can corrode or degrade spare parts.
(4) The high-temperature sterilization of endoscopes can also cause damage to some spare parts, especially those made of plastic or other heat-sensitive materials.
Due to these factors, the curved parts of the endoscope require careful handling, regular maintenance, and timely replacement of damaged parts to ensure optimal performance and safety during endoscopic procedures.
