Single-Use GI endoscope: a safe line of defense for gastrointestinal diagnosis and treatment
Safety issues have always been a focus of medical attention in GI endoscopy. Previous studies have shown that there is a risk of bacteremia within 30 days after gastrointestinal endoscopy, and contaminated endoscopes and endogenous infections are the main "culprits". After multiple uses of traditional endoscopes, if they are not thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, bacteria are likely to remain, becoming a potential source of cross-infection.
At the 2025 DDW academic event, an abstract titled "Evaluation of Helicobacter pylori detection in gastrointestinal endoscopy" showed that in the detection process, the risk of contamination caused by the reuse of traditional endoscopes always exists, interfering with the accuracy of the test results. The emergence of EndoFresh® single-use GI endoscopes provides an ideal solution to this problem.
Each EndoFresh® endoscope is sterile and single-use, ensuring highly reliable results for informed clinical decisions. The unique feature, "one-patient, one-endoscope, use and discard", fundamentally eliminates cross-contamination risks associated with reprocessing, providing an inherent "sterile barrier" for the patient. EndoFresh® single-use GI endoscopes are sterile every time they are used, making the test results more accurate and reliable, and providing a solid basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment decisions. The feature of "one person, one endoscope, discard after use" fundamentally eliminates the risk of cross-infection caused by endoscope reuse, just like adding a layer of "sterile shield" to the patient's diagnosis and treatment process.
Simplify the process and improve efficiency：disposable endoscopes are available at any time without waiting.
Consistent high quality and performance：The reuse and reprocessing of traditional endoscopes will cause wear and mechanical degradation. Disposable endoscopes do not need to consider damage.
Cost advantage：No need for processor maintenance, achieving cost control.
Live report: EndoFresh® attracts much attention
At the exhibition, many brands have upgraded and innovated their products around "image quality". However, in addition to high-definition images, the EndoFresh® disposable digestive endoscopy system has also broken through the limitations of traditional digestive endoscopy equipment, which is large in size and inconvenient to carry. It is not only easy to carry, but also greatly improves the convenience of operation.
EndoFresh® GEC - 2000P main unit adopts an innovative three-pump-in-one design, which greatly improves the integration of the equipment. It is compact and lightweight, easy to operate and carry, and can be used immediately with a disposable digestive endoscope that does not require decontamination, greatly improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. It can also easily adapt to a variety of complex diagnosis and treatment scenarios, and can play an important role in both traditional endoscopy centers and outdoor scenarios such as military field operations and field rescue.
After in-depth understanding, the experts spoke highly of the product's design concept. A customer from the United States believed that "EndoFresh® disposable digestive endoscope fully considers the actual diagnosis and treatment needs, is an effective supplement to traditional reusable endoscopes, and brings great convenience to clinical work."
Future Outlook: Continuous Innovation, Expanding Infinite Possibilities
In the future, with the continuous advancement of medical technology and the continuous improvement of global requirements for medical safety and diagnosis and treatment quality, the disposable GI endoscope market has broad prospects and huge potential.
As a leader of the single use GI endoscopes filed,, Daichuan Medical is ready to meet more opportunities and challenges.
