BioShield® biopsy valves and irrigation accessories are single-use, offering unsurpassed protection for patients and staff. Why single-use valves? It is nearly impossible to manually clean, disinfect, flush and dry biopsy valves. Reused biopsy valves can become leaky and potentially harbor dangerous pathogens - putting both patients and healthcare workers at risk. Fortunately, BioShield® biopsy valves are single-use, leaving you one less thing to worry about. Why take the risk? Trust BioShield® biopsy valves.

Did you know? Findings suggest biopsy valves aren’t designed to be cleaned and reprocessed… FACT: The design of a biopsy valve inhibits the reach and effectiveness of cleaning brush bristles, making it nearly impossible to remove debris from inner crevices FACT: Biopsy valves have internal flaps that squeegee biomaterial off devices as they are extracted, allowing it to collect deep within the valve’s inner crevices Arrows show insufficient contact of cleaning brush bristles within internal crevices Play it safe...US Endoscopy’s line of BioShield® biopsy valves are single-use so you no longer...

In a documented study,* published in EndoNurse and Infection Control Today, researchers found visible debris/proteinaceous material in over 50% of the test valves.

The results showed wear and damage to valve structure, gross contamination on the outer edges, and contamination within the nooks and crannies of the valves where cleaning brushes can’t always reach.
