WASHING APPARATUS FOR ENDOSCOPE

摘要

A washing apparatus for an endoscope 51 includes a wire brush 31, a region for housing the wire brush and a drive means 57 adapted to advance and retract the wire brush 31. The wire brush 31 is received in a pipe section 56 of the wire housing region so that the wire brush 31 may be selectively advanced out or retracted in this pipe section 56 which is, in turn, provided along its front end portion 56a and a rear end portion 56b with position sensors 67, 68 to detect a position of a wire component 33 of the wire brush 31.
