The Best Defense is DEFENDO™ Single-use Valves
DEFENDO™ Single-Use Valves are compatible with leading GI endoscopes, including Olympus, Pentax and FujiFilm. Our product line includes:
Infection Prevention
The risk of infection from improperly cleaned and disinfected reusable endoscope valves is extremely high due to their complex design. Meticulous brushing is required during reprocessing and that still may not be sufficient to ensure a safe, patient-ready endoscope. DEFENDO Sterile Single-Use Valves solve the issue of reusable valve reprocessing by offering a single-use option that ensures sterile valves for every procedure and eliminates the need to track valves with endoscopes.
Performance
DEFENDO Valves are high-performance, high-quality products that support procedural control and efficiency. Our verification testing includes multiple tests for force and suction to help create valves that don’t exhibit some of the most common issues with reusable valves and other single-use valves: clogging, sticking and loss of insufflation. When you experience these issues during a procedure, the result can be a longer, more difficult procedure.
