An endoscope air/water valve is a reusable attachment designed to regulate the flow of air, gas, or water through an endoscope’s channel during procedures. It allows operators to control insufflation (air/gas delivery) and irrigation (water flow) while preventing backflow, improving safety and precision during examinations or interventions.
These valves are typically classified as medical devices and must comply with local reprocessing standards to ensure sterility and functionality before reuse. They are commonly supplied as standalone accessories for endoscope systems and may require specific cleaning or sterilization protocols as part of their lifecycle.
