Endoscope sheaths are disposable protective tubes that fit over the shaft of an endoscope, creating a sterile barrier during procedures like hysteroscopy or cystoscopy. They help prevent cross-contamination between the endoscope and patient while allowing instruments and fluids to pass through designated ports.
These devices are typically classified as single-use and regulated under medical device laws, often requiring manufacturer certification or compliance with sterilization-free design standards. They are supplied sterile and packaged for one-time clinical use, ensuring infection control and ease of disposal.
