<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cleaning an endoscope capable of easily and unfailingly removing contamination and bacteria from conduit inside an endoscope; the endoscope; and a method for coating the endoscope. <P>SOLUTION: In the process of cleaning the endoscope, a coating layer 60 forming an inner wall surface S<SB POS="POST">0</SB>of the endoscopic conduit (forceps channel 57 etc.) is molten with hot water (peeling liquid), and the coating layer 60 is removed from a base portion 58 surrounding the conduit. Thus, since the coating layer 60 itself is removed with the hot water, even if contamination and bacteria remain on the surface of the coating layer 60, they can be unfailingly removed from the endoscopic conduit without peeling them from the coating layer 60. After that, a coating layer 60 is formed again on the base portion 58, thereby enabling the repetitive use of the endoscope with the inner wall of the conduit constituted by another clean coating layer 60 forms. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
