Endoscopic overtube, reusable

An endoscopic overtube is a tubular accessory designed to work alongside a flexible endoscope during gastrointestinal procedures. These devices create a stable pathway that facilitates the repeated insertion and withdrawal of instruments, which is particularly useful when a clinician needs to remove multiple polyps or foreign objects.

These devices are constructed from plastic and are designed to be cleaned and sterilized for repeated use across different procedures. Some models feature a shape-locking mechanism that allows the tube to maintain a specific configuration, assisting in the navigation of the digestive tract.
