Endoscope sheaths (reusable) are protective tubes that fit over the tip of an endoscope, forming part of the complete endoscopic system. Clinically, they act as a barrier to prevent contamination of the endoscope’s controls and isolate the device from direct patient contact during procedures like arthroscopy or hysteroscopy.
These reusable sheaths are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring sterilization between uses. They are commonly supplied as part of an endoscope assembly or as standalone components, with materials like plastic and metal used for durability and functionality. Classification and supply details vary by jurisdiction and manufacturer specifications.
