Endoscopic overtubes are disposable, plastic tubes designed to work alongside flexible endoscopes during procedures like upper or lower GI tract exams. They help guide the endoscope into place, stabilize it for repeated use, and create a clear passage for tools or instruments during diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
These devices are typically classified as single-use and are regulated based on their intended use and risk level, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and intended for one-time clinical use, ensuring infection control and ease of disposal after a procedure.
