The detachable shaft of the BN‑SF (rigid endoscope) is one of its key design features that sets it apart from conventional rigid endoscopes. Compared with standard monolithic shafts, its advantages are both significant and often overlooked.
The detachable tube of the BN‑SF (rigid endoscope) is one of its key design features that sets it apart from conventional rigid endoscopes. Compared with standard integral tubes, this design offers significant advantages that are often overlooked. In traditional rigid endoscopes, the tube is permanently attached to the main body and must be disinfected as a whole before each reuse. This not only entails a cumbersome, time‑consuming disinfection process but also carries a potential risk of cross‑contamination. Moreover, if the tube becomes damaged, the entire device must be repaired or replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs.
The BN‑SF (rigid endoscope) features a detachable sheath that can be connected via a snap‑fit or threaded interface. The sheath is designed as a single‑use consumable and is discarded after use, while the main body is reusable. This approach eliminates the need for complex sheath cleaning and disinfection, significantly improving clinical workflow efficiency, fundamentally reducing the risk of cross‑contamination, and lowering overall equipment maintenance costs—making it particularly well suited for high‑volume outpatient settings. When using the system, ensure a secure connection between the sheath and the main body to prevent loosening during procedures, which could lead to blurred images or sheath dislodgement. Dispose of the single‑use sheath in accordance with medical waste management regulations; it must not be reused. Additionally, the main body should be disinfected after each use, with particular attention paid to thoroughly cleaning the connection site to remove any residual debris that might compromise subsequent applications.
In addition, when replacing the optical tube, be sure to select a model specifically designed for BN‑SF (rigid‑tube endoscopes) to prevent equipment damage or imaging abnormalities caused by mismatched specifications, thereby fully leveraging the advantages of its detachable design.
