Endoscope transportation device

摘要

A device for in-hospital transportation of flexible medical endoscopes comprises: a re-usable tray having an inner compartment defined by a generally planar base, surrounding walls upstanding therefrom, and peripheral lip-portion(s) provided at least partially around said surrounding walls and extending outwardly therefrom; a single-use, disposable tray-liner having margins to embrace and to detachably-engage at least a major part of said peripheral lip-portion(s) thereof; an open-faced pouch provided centrally of said margins, such that in use said pouch is able to conform itself substantially to the inner compartment of the re-usable tray; and a pouch-closing protective cover which in use is capable of being extended from one edge across an open-face of the pouch supported in the inner compartment and detachably secured so as safely to enclose an endoscope when it is within the pouch within the inner compartment.
