Key Features

  • Extra-Long Catheter: At 240 cm, this brush is long enough to be used with almost any standard or therapeutic gastroscope or colonoscope, including those with extra-long working channels.

  • Radiopaque Distal Cap: The tip of the catheter features a radiopaque cap, which allows the clinician to track the exact position of the brush under fluoroscopy (X-ray) if needed.

  • 3-Ring Handle Configuration: The handle is designed for one-handed operation. The three-ring grip gives the clinician precise control over the extension and retraction of the brush, ensuring accurate sampling of the target tissue.

  • Stiff Catheter Body: The 2.3 mm catheter is engineered to be kink-resistant, providing the "push ability" required to navigate through the winding channels of an endoscope.

  • Atraumatic Tip: The distal end is designed to be smooth to prevent accidental perforation or significant trauma to the mucosal wall before the brush is deployed.


Medical Description

The 60318 is clinically indicated for the collection of cells from suspected lesions, strictures, or tumors within the gastrointestinal tract.

Clinical Use Cases:

  • Esophageal Cancer Screening: Sampling cells from suspicious areas in the esophagus.

  • Stricture Evaluation: Passing the brush through a narrowed area (stricture) to determine if the cause is benign or malignant.

  • Biliary Duct Sampling: Sometimes used during ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) to collect cells from the bile ducts.
