CONTAMINATION PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR ENDOSCOPE CONTROL HANDLES A contamination system for endoscopes having a handle, an insertion tube projecting from the handle, and control knobs detachably mounted on control shafts projecting from the handle to control the angular orientation of distal end of the insertion tube. The handle is placed in a liquid-impermeable bag, with the control shafts projecting through an aperture in the bag. The control knobs are then attached to the shafts prior to performing an endoscopic procedure. After the procedure has been completed, the control knobs are removed from the shafts and decontaminated, the handle is removed from the bag, and the bag is discarded. |
