I-DEC™ Duodenoscope
The I-DEC™ duodenoscope, with its disposable elevator cap (DEC), reduces the risk of cross-contamination in ERCP. Elevator caps are components most likely to harbor bioburden after cleaning.
Simply detaching and discarding the disposable elevator cap after each use greatly reduces the effort required for thorough reprocessing without compromising performance, maneuverability or image quality, ensuring you can provide clinical excellence for every procedure, every patient, every day.
Disposable Elevator with Reusable Upper Case
Designed for smooth, precise steering of therapeutic devices for every twist and turn. Built with durable materials, the disposable elevator cap delivers the maneuverability of a reusable device, enhancing your clinical practice every procedure.
Disposable Elevator Cap
Combining a reusable endoscope with the DEC guarantees the benefits of a new elevator and the handling ease of a reusable duodenoscope in every procedure.
Outstanding Visualization
A brighter HD+ image and finely differentiated colors and contrasts allow for proper positioning and cannulation, so you can see the detail that changes decisions.
Muscarella LF, et al. World J Gastrointest Endosc. 2014 October 2016Manufacturers may consider enhanced design to ensure the adequate reprocessing of ERCP endoscopes and other complex reusable instrumentation, to further minimize the risk of disease transmission during GI endoscopy.
Reduced Risk of Cross-Contamination Every Time
The DEC™ Disposable Elevator Cap ensures a reduced risk of cross-contamination by improving surface access for distal end cleaning without compromising therapeutic performance.
The single-use distal end cap with integrated elevator eliminates the need for elevator reprocessing. The disposable cleaning brushes, designed specifically for PENTAX Medical, meet high quality standards and have been tested to reduce residual debris compared to conventional brushes.
PENTAX Medical recommends reprocessing the DEC™ Duodenoscope with PROfILE Disposable Cleaning Brushes.
Slim DEC™ Duodenoscope for Every Patient
Full capability, more access, slimmer design. This unique ERCP solution for pediatric and adult patients with narrow anatomy features a slimmer endoscope to facilitate cannulation in every patient, especially those with challenging upper GI tracts.
The narrow insertion tube and rigid distal width of the Slim DEC Duodenoscope enable maneuverability while maintaining an adequate channel size for therapeutic interventions. Combined with HD imaging, a 15° retroflexed view and a flexible insertion tube to provide excellent visualization, the Slim DEC Duodenoscope enhances your clinical practice at every twist and turn.
Prof. Dr. Marco Bruno, Head of the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Erasmus University Medical CentreA solution to the risk of infection, is to modify current endoscopes so that they have disposable parts. Especially the parts that are most susceptible to contamination.
