Infection prevention with single-use products
Advancing patient care and hygiene is extremely important to us, we have recently introduced an innovative product which provides a breakthrough in infection prevention. Our unique new duodenoscope with a Disposable Elevator Cap - the DEC™ Duodenoscope – increases reprocessing operational efficiency, while ensuring reliable therapeutic performance.
In a presentation given during the EUS-ENDO 2017 congress, Prof. Marco Bruno (Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam) discussed the need for and the design improvements delivered by DEC™.
Listen to Prof. Bruno explaining how we have succeeded in designing a new duodenoscope that is much easier to clean:
Marco J. Bruno is professor of Gastrointestinal Oncology and director of Endoscopy in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam. His clinical and research activities focus on gastrointestinal oncology, hepato-pancreato-biliary diseases and interventional endoscopy, including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancre¬atography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). He is also actively involved in the area of infection prevention after GI procedures, leading research programs.
