A rigid endoscope obturator is a component used with rigid endoscopes to facilitate insertion into the body. It features a solid, distally rounded tip that fills the lumen of the endoscope sheath, helping guide the instrument smoothly while protecting the sheath and surrounding tissue from damage during procedures.
This device is designed for reuse and is typically supplied as part of a rigid endoscope system. It does not contain medication or active components and is regulated based on its role as a reusable accessory to endoscopic equipment, with classification depending on the specific endoscope it accompanies and the jurisdiction in which it is used.
