Applications: For penetrating and scrubbing the interior of long, tubular instruments.

2. Surface and Hinge Cleaning Brushes

Features: Resemble toothbrushes or flat brushes in shape, but feature specially designed bristle materials.

Applications: For scrubbing hinge joints, serrations, and threaded areas of surgical scissors and hemostats, as well as the external surfaces of instruments.

3. Valve and Button Cleaning Brushes

Features: Shorter in length, with brush heads featuring a stepped profile or a dual-diameter (thick/thin) design.

Applications: Specifically designed for multi-angle scrubbing of specialized openings on endoscope control handles, such as suction valve ports and water/air insufflation ports.

Key Details for Cleaning

Following the correct procedure when using a medical device cleaning brush is essential for ensuring effective endoscope cleaning and extending the service life of expensive endoscopic equipment.

1. Suction Channels

· Remove the suction button before brushing.

· Keep the brush head straight and maintain a steady speed when passing through the button housing; avoid tilting or rotating the brush.

· Use a dedicated suction channel brush equipped with a hemispherical protective tip.

2. Curved Sections

· Slow down when advancing into the bending section and monitor for changes in resistance.

· Allow the flexible brush shaft to bend naturally as it passes through; do not force it by pushing or pulling hard.

3. Air/Water Channels

· Use a dedicated small-diameter brush (1.0–1.5 mm); do not substitute with a working channel brush.

· Flush with a syringe to confirm that air and water flow functions are restored.

4. Valves/Buttons

· Disassemble and brush separately using a short-handled valve brush.

· Pay attention to cleaning internal crevices and inspect sealing rings for damage.

FAQ

Q1: How do I determine the correct brush size for my endoscope?

A1: Consult the endoscope's instruction manual or the equipment supplier to identify the required brush model—for example, a single-ended valve brush with specifications such as φ10/40/100mm.

Q2: Can endoscope cleaning brushes be reused?

A2: Single-use models cannot be reused.

Reusable models can be used multiple times, provided they are properly cleaned and maintained; they should also be replaced regularly to ensure effective cleaning performance.

Q3: What do the different brush colors signify?

A3: Colors are typically used to distinguish between different types of endoscopic equipment, facilitating easier management and use; for instance, a light green single-ended valve brush might be designated for a specific type of endoscope.

Q4: What are the potential risks associated with adhesive bonding or stapling methods? Why is an integrated molding process preferred?

A4: Traditional cleaning brushes often utilize adhesive bonding or stapling to attach bristles, which entails the following risks:

Adhesives may age and become brittle after prolonged immersion in enzymatic solutions or disinfectants, making the brush head prone to detachment;

Residual adhesive may leach harmful substances; repeated bending can reduce clamping force, causing the brush head to loosen or even fall off.

Technical advantages of the integrated molding process include: exceptionally high pull-off strength, no chemical leaching, no metal corrosion, smooth joints, high dimensional precision, and superior fatigue resistance.
