Science and technology have developed much that it has made our life easier and comfortable. Scientists have developed so much equipment’s that doctors feel at ease in treating any patients. One of the pieces of equipment for doctors comfort is an endoscope, an endoscope is a tube-like structure that helps the doctors and health experts to examine the patients without invading them internally.
The endoscope is consist of various parts like bending rubber, lens, insertion tube, bending section mesh and many more. The bending section mesh is a stainless steel braided structure composed in between bending rubber and other bending areas. The bending section mesh is a delicate type of endoscopic part and can be damaged due to any external pressure coming to these bending section mesh. The diameter of bending section mesh varies for different bending section mesh. The bending section mesh can be damaged due to many reasons like patients bite, excessive pressure to the angulation system of bending section mesh, damage in bending rubber and can also be other causes. The damage in the bending section mesh can be prevented by taking care of some things like:
- Proper handling of the endoscope.
- Preventing the endoscope from stacking.
- Proper cleaning of the endoscope after every use.
- Don’t apply excessive torque to the angulation system.
- Preventing the damage in bending rubber.
The bending section mesh is a delicate stack of stainless steel braids but you can get them from an online store or offline store available in the market. There is no need to worry about the bending section mesh, these are readily available in the market for a replacement.
