The ScopeSeal^® Duodenoscope Protective Device is the first Endoscopic Shield, a sterile, single-use disposable device that attaches to the distal end of a duodenoscope to act as a protective barrier to significantly reduce the level of contamination of the scope’s distal end during patient use. The ScopeSeal^® technology includes a protective barrier sealing the duodenoscope’s hard-to-clean elevator area during patient use.

ScopeSeal^® provides Two-Way Protection™  for the distal end of the scope:  an “Outside-In” barrier designed to significantly reduce biomatter soiling of the distal end of the scope during use and “Inside-Out” protection which seals the elevator area of the scope and provides a sealed passageway allowing instruments to be passed through the duodenoscope into the patient’s GI tract without contacting the elevator area of the scope.

ScopeSeal’s Two-Way Protection is analogous to a physician wearing gloves for surgery, which along with vigorous scrubbing and washing before and after the procedure, protects both the patient and the surgeon from contamination and potential infection.
