Infection Prevention
Help mitigate the spread of hospital-acquired infection and illness
The epitome of sterility
53%
of biopsy port valves exhibited debris or potential contamination1
Bacteria, yeast, molds, and/or bacterial spores were detected on
60.2%
of valves1
Data linking infection hazards to reusable valves is abundant.
The good news? You can eliminate these risks entirely. With CleanGuard®, you’ll ensure the highest level of infection prevention and convenience.
More than a sterile alternative
-
Non-Lubricated
To avoid compromising scope effectiveness -
Ergonomic
With easy-to-push, intuitive buttons -
Optimized Biopsy Valve
To prevent leakage and maintain optimal suction
ClearGuard™ Single-Use Biopsy Valves
Sterile, single-use clear biopsy valves are the only means of eliminating the risk of transferring infection by way of accessories from one patient to another.2 Their disposability also eliminates the need for tracking and registration, enabling the use of simpler processes that require less training.

Used in upper endoscopy procedures, Scope Saver® Bite Blocks protect both the delicate scopes and patients' teeth from costly damage. The treated strap and vanilla scent provide maximum patient comfort. They are disposable and latex free, and come in adult (60Fr) and Pediatric (42Fr) sizes.
CONMED economy options are available without some features stated above.
Manually cleaning a device is your first critical step in reprocessing, and effectiveness is imperative for protecting your patients.1
The Channel Master™ series of endoscopic cleaning brushes offer a variety of versions, including single-ended, double-ended, dual-ended, and combinations.
Meet Industry Guidelines
The CONMED Whistle® Cleaning Brush can remove up to 47% more soil from the distal tip of a duodenoscope2, including the working channel and elevator region, compared to a dual-ended cleaning brush. Its ability to flush liquid and brush simultaneously during manual reprocessing results in a reduction of protein/soil put into your reprocessing system when disinfecting/sterilizing the scope.1

If you’ve been looking to optimize your cleaning protocol on a budget, the Whistle® Brush is your answer.
A Better Clean
“Flush and Brush” method removes more soil than a standard dual ended brush
Time Saving
Designed to increase efficiency and save your Sterile Processing Team’s time
Cost Effective
An economical alternative to disposable scopes, promoting patient safety while preserving budget
Simply add water to this all-in-one tray, channel cleanser, and scope sponge to simplify and standardize your immediate post-procedure bedside endoscope pre-cleaning. This reduces the shipping costs of pre-mixed products, and reduces the storage space needed in your facility. The solid tray construction helps make it easier to maneuver the scope compared to competitive products that use a pouch.
Meet Industry Guidelines
CleanTray™ meets the pre-cleaning guidelines as defined in ASGE's Multi-Society Guideline on Reprocessing Flexible GI Endoscopes, as well as the SGNA Practice Committee Standards of Infection Control.
New reprocessing standards require you to track which scope is used with which patient. CleanCage™ keeps your valves and other detachable parts together with the parent endoscope during reprocessing so you can track where they were used.
Unlike mesh bags that get reused, remain wet after reprocessing, and have the potential for contamination, CleanCage™ is a disposable, single-use product to help ensure your patients’ safety and your peace of mind. CleanCage™ meets the standards of AAMI, the American National Standard ST91; 2015, and the SGNA Standards of Infection Prevention in Reprocessing of Flexible Gastrointestinal Endoscopes.
