Innovation in Duodenoscope Design: Are disposable scopes the answer?

Episode 2 of our new series Innovation in Duodenoscope Design is all about disposable scopes! Join host Adarsh Thaker, MD, and his guests Gregory A. Cote, MD, and Andrew Ross, MD, as they cover: • How to determine whether a scope is clean or not and how to know it is ready for the next patient. • Cost and reimbursement factors into declaring that the risk of exogenous is "low". • If single use duodenoscopes make sense not only in infection prevention but also in the cost to the environment. This series is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Boston Scientific.
