Overview
Eliminate reprocessing, repairs, patient cross contamination, and reduce cost/capital

Even with the most advanced reprocessing, there is always a risk, however small, of patient cross-contamination. The FDA has called for an innovative solution to this issue. aScope Duodeno solves the problem.
aScope Duodeno is a sterile single-use duodenoscope for ERCP procedures. It helps you address concerns about patient cross-contamination and patient safety.
Sterile straight from the pack
aScope Duodeno eliminates the risk of patient cross-contamination because you receive a new sterile scope straight from the pack for every procedure.
No need for reprocessing or repair
With single-use, there is no need for reprocessing or repair. As a result, you can free up staff to focus on other valuable tasks.
A seamless transition
The single-use aScope Duodeno is designed to deliver the performance of conventional duodenoscopes.
