The use of flexible borescopes to inspect inside medical instruments and endoscope lumens is a recent advancement. The use of a borescope for sterile processing makes it easier for technicians to visually inspect lumened instruments, endoscopes, and arthroscopic shavers. Incredibly small diameter borescopes (.5mm) allow sterile processing technicians to inspect all instruments. In the past, it was impossible to visually inspect medical instruments and endoscope lumens after cleaning. With the aid of a borescope, a sterile processing technician can quickly see if there are any leftover bioburden and damage to the lumen.

Today borescopes designed for sterile processing have large high-resolution displays, a choice of interchangeable probes, video recording, still image capture, and text annotation. The Endoinspect is the first borescope design from the ground up for use in the sterile process department. The EndoInspect gives sterile processing technicians the ability to visually inspect all of their medical instruments and endoscopes with a choice of 5 different diameter borescopes. Your sterile processing department will be able to visually inspect the following:
