A systematic approach to endoscopy
Kun.uz published a piece on how the workflow of an endoscopy department is organized. According to the outlet, endoscopy is not a single device or the actions of one specialist, but a chain in which a weak link can delay an examination, complicate equipment reprocessing, or force the team to search for the right instrument at the wrong moment.
The company and its products
The Russian company Endo Stars, as the outlet reports, views this chain as a whole: it produces equipment and instruments for diagnostics and minimally invasive interventions, creates solutions for cleaning and storing endoscopes, and also trains medical specialists. For clinics in Uzbekistan, where the department works on a schedule, such an approach, according to the piece, is important: equipment must fit into the process without unnecessary interruptions.
Testing and reprocessing of endoscopes
One of the unpleasant endoscope malfunctions is a hidden loss of leak-tightness: if it is not detected in time, liquid may enter the instrument during reprocessing, leading to costly repairs. The ENDOMATE TEST tester is designed to check leak-tightness, and the D-FREE system helps clean the channels. After reprocessing, the equipment must be properly dried and stored — for this, the company has developed a special cabinet. As the outlet describes, these devices look like auxiliary means, but in practice it is they that maintain the department's rhythm: the doctor is focused on the examination, the nurse follows a clear protocol, and the engineering service detects problems early. The patient does not notice this, but the appointment starts on time.
Instruments in the catalog
According to Kun.uz, the Endo Stars catalog contains more than 60 items: instruments for biopsy, removal of polyps and foreign bodies, hemostasis, stenting and dilation of narrowed areas, as well as equipment for complex endoscopic operations. The working part of the clip applicator rotates 360 degrees, the jaws of the forceps open up to 20 millimeters. The polyp trap device allows material to be collected into one of two removable containers and sent immediately for histology.
