The cart is designed to provide
safe storage, instant access and easy use of the flexible bronchoscope
in a compact mobile unit. The scope may be kept ready for use
in the cart at all times and is only removed for use and cleaning.
User hospitals have reported that the use of this cart has nearly
eliminated damage to these delicate scopes. The cost savings
realized by protecting this equipment has paid for the Bronchoscope
Cart in 5 to 7 months.
The scope head is supported by a bracket on top of the cart
and the tip rests within a one inch diameter disposable plastic
tube. The tube top is exposed and it's body is protected completely
within the cart. On the top there is a covered wall which conveniently
stores 18 of these tubes. During use and immediately afterwards,
the scope is placed into its holder. The cart is then brought
to the setup area and both the scope and tube are removed. The
tube is then discarded, the scope cleaned, lubricated, placed
in a fresh tube and returned to the cart. The unit is then ready
for use.

have splash guards and dust seals. As a safety feature they
