Endoscope patient protection cap, reusable

Endoscope patient protection caps are reusable attachments designed to fit over the distal tip of endoscopes, like duodenoscopes, during procedures. Their primary clinical purpose is to shield patients from potential injury caused by the device’s mechanical parts, such as sharp edges or moving components, ensuring safer access to internal organs.

These devices are typically regulated as medical instruments, often requiring compliance with standards for reusable medical equipment. They are supplied as standalone accessories for endoscopes and must meet safety and performance criteria to prevent contamination or malfunction during use.
