EndoSheath® Endoscopy represents the new alternative to conventional flexible endoscopy procedures. For the first time, Practice Managers can equip their facility with high performance endoscopic imaging and functionality together with the EndoSheath® Technology, the only sterile, disposable option for flexible endoscopy.
For Practice Managers, the EndoSheath® Technology makes adding any of the following endoscopy systems simple and cost effective;
Flexible Bronchoscopy
Flexible Cystoscopy
Flexible Transnasal Esophagoscopy
Flexible Laryngoscopy
EndoSheath® Endoscopy allows the opportunity to make efficiency and productivity a priority in today’s endoscopy practices WITHOUT sacrificing safety and WITHOUT the requirement of expensive, elaborate cleaning equipment and endoscope inventory.
What is EndoSheath® Technology?
Vision Sciences® unique endoscopy line utilizes the pioneering EndoSheath® Technology, providing a durable, protective barrier between the scope and patient. EndoSheath® Technology is a sterile, disposable sheath that covers the endoscope and completely isolates it from patient contact. Some models of the sheath incorporate a sterile, disposable channel for irrigation and tool passage, and support a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Some models include an integrated protective control body cover that allows maximum usage of endoscope controls without contaminating the equipment.
How does EndoSheath® Technology work?
Prior to the procedure, the endoscope is placed inside a new, sterile sheath. Following the procedure, the endoscope is removed from the sheath, which is then discarded. The sheath eliminates the need for toxic high-level disinfection/sterilization routines between each patient. The result is a safe, sterile instrument for each patient and rapid equipment turnaround for the practice.
What does EndoSheath® Endoscopy mean for the Practice Manager?
EndoSheath® Endoscopy provides a practice with the ultimate in efficiency and high-performance endoscopy. Because of the unique EndoSheath® feature of rapid equipment turnaround, practitioners do not have to wait for equipment to be reprocessed, thus EndoSheath® Endoscopes are always ready when the procedure needs to be performed. With Vision Sciences® line of high performance video and fiberoptic endoscopes, practitioners get the ultimate in clinical efficiency without compromising on the functional or therapeutic procedural needs.
An EndoSheath® Practice has the opportunity for a new level of efficiency, flexibility, and safety. The EndoSheath® Technology means less staff and equipment exposure to toxic disinfection chemicals.The simple preparation routine of the system frees up staff time normally spent on the conventional endoscope reprocessing routines, increasing productivity and the ability to keep room and equipment turnaround from throwing off the day’s schedule. Additionally, an “always ready” endoscope means that unexpected patient add-ons are easily fit into a busy day’s schedule.
For the practice itself, the EndoSheath® Technology helps keep the capital equipment budget low, by providing one flexible endoscope that can do the work of many conventional scopes, reducing the need for turnaround inventory. The reduced inventory and the reduced exposure to toxic chemical disinfection routines also allows for lower service and repair expenses.

Always Sterile Sheath technology
Increased staff productivity
Versatile, portable high performance systems
Less exposure of equipment, staff, and patient to toxic chemicals
