The Caterpillar Brush is the first endoscopic channel brush designed to be pulled through the biopsy and suction channels. This pull-through design eliminates the buckling that normally occurs from pushing a brush through a channel. There are over 80,000 bristles on the Caterpillar Brush compared to other brushes that have around 600 bristles. This increases the efficacy and efficiency of each pass.

Immediately following the procedure, the endoscope should be manually cleaned at the patient’s bedside, and then transported to the decontamination room. Air leak test the scope according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. During the entire cleaning process, the endoscope should be completely submerged in a detergent solution to prevent any splashing of contaminated fluid and aerosolization of bioburden. While submerged, wash all debris from the exterior of the scope.
