As a specialized medical enterprise with its own manufacturing facility, LucentMed focuses on producing endoscopic cleaning brushes—such as urology lumen brushes—that feature soft bristles to prevent scope damage and come individually packaged and EO-sterilized.
Our products meet professional medical standards; we assist with regulatory market access documentation and provide third-party test reports covering material specifications, sterilization, and tensile strength.
Instruments must be sterile before use on patients; if cleaning is incomplete, biofilms can block the penetration of sterilizing agents, leading to sterilization failure.
Extensive research has demonstrated that flushing with water alone cannot thoroughly remove biofilms and organic residues formed within the lumen. The bristles of the Urology Lumen Brush provide mechanical scrubbing action, effectively removing biofilms and enhancing the quality of instrument reprocessing.
This disposable endoscope cleaning brush reduces the risk of cross-infection among patients while protecting expensive endoscopic equipment, offering a safe and efficient solution.
Reason: Following cystoscopy or transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), residual blood, mucus, and tissue debris remain within the endoscope's working channel and require cleaning.
Method: Select a Urology Lumen Brush of the appropriate diameter (typically 2.0 mm–2.8 mm). Insert it into one end of the channel and pull it out from the other; repeat this process 2–3 times until the amount of debris removed by the brush head is significantly reduced.
Reason: Ureteroscopes are used to treat ureteral stones. Following laser lithotripsy, stone fragments and dust tend to crystallize and adhere to the inner walls of the channel; simple flushing is often insufficient to remove these deposits or associated biofilms.
Method: Perform a full-length brushing procedure using a fine-diameter lumen brush (1.5 mm–2.0 mm), followed by flushing to remove the loosened material.
Reason: The SPD processes large volumes of urological endoscopes daily, and each instrument requires standardized cleaning.
Method: Select a lumen brush of the appropriate specification based on the endoscope type. After brushing, inspect the channel using an illuminated magnifier or a borescope to ensure there is no residual debris or scratching.
Reusable brushes pose risks regarding disinfection and residual pathogens. LucentMed offers disposable urology lumen brushes that eliminate cross-contamination at the source; they come in individual sterile packaging and require no cumbersome cleaning validation.
LucentMed brushes feature medical-grade soft plastic bristles with rounded tips—free of burrs or sharp angles.
The combination of soft bristles and rounded-tip technology ensures no scratching (verified by 100-cycle testing), while a single pass delivers cleaning efficiency equivalent to five passes with traditional brushes.
Cystoscopes: For visualizing internal bladder structures, diagnosing bladder tumors, and stone retrieval.
Ureteroscopes: For diagnosing and treating conditions such as ureteral stones; their narrow diameters demand high-precision cleaning tools.
Urethroscopes: For diagnosing and treating conditions such as urethral strictures and urethral valves.
Urology Department: Post-operative cleaning of various urological endoscopes.
Operating Room: Intraoperative and post-operative processing of urological endoscopic instruments.
Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD): Centralized cleaning and disinfection of all urological endoscopic instruments; highest demand for lumen brushes.
Outpatient Cystoscopy Suite: Rapid cleaning following outpatient cystoscopy procedures.
Emergency Department: Rapid turnaround cleaning for urological emergency instruments.
A: The bristles of the Urology Lumen Brush are made of medical-grade soft plastic—a non-abrasive material—ensuring no damage to the endoscope channel.
The tip of each bristle is rounded, with no burrs or sharp edges.
A: Yes, we offer EO (Ethylene Oxide) or irradiation sterilization. The brushes come in individual sterile dialysis paper packaging, ready for immediate use in operating rooms or endoscopy suites.
A: Yes, we hold ISO 13485 (Quality Management System for Medical Devices), ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), and CE certifications, ensuring our products and services meet international standards.
A: Yes. Certain brush models are designed to connect to standard syringes (Luer lock) or cleaning water guns, allowing for simultaneous brushing and flushing to enhance cleaning efficiency.
Note: A "pass-through" brushing technique (entering at one end and exiting at the other) must be used to avoid creating "dead zones" caused by brushing only part of the channel.
A: Impedes sterilization: Biofilm is 100–1,000 times more resistant than planktonic bacteria, making it difficult for standard sterilization methods to penetrate.
Causes re-contamination: Bacteria within the biofilm can continuously detach, leading to secondary contamination of the instrument.
Difficult to remove: Once dried, biofilm becomes extremely stubborn and cannot be dislodged by simple flushing alone.
