360-Degree Full-Contact Cleaning Structure
The microfiber ball expands with pressure to make uniform contact throughout the channel, enabling thorough cleaning even in areas conventional brushes cannot reach.
Reduces Working Time and Operator Fatigue
Automatic suction eliminates repetitive manual brushing, shortening cleaning time and improving efficiency in high-volume workflows.
Pressure-Assisted Automatic Suction Mechanism
The ball moves automatically through the channel at the proper pressure range, ensuring consistent cleaning results regardless of operator skill.
Minimizes Risk of Endoscope Damage
Soft microfiber material prevents scratches and reduces friction, helping maintain the integrity and lifespan of the endoscope channel.

Disadvantages of Conventional Cleaning Brushes?
Conventional bristle brushes produce inconsistent cleaning results because they rely heavily on operator technique. Their strong friction can cause micro-damage inside the channel and raise infection control risks. In complex or ultra-narrow endoscopes, the brush often fails to reach all areas, leaving uncleaned sections. Manual brushing also requires considerable time and effort, reducing overall reprocessing efficiency.
Why Continuous Use of Conventional Bristle Brushes Should Be Avoided?
1. Inconsistent Cleaning Quality
Cleaning performance varies significantly depending on the operator’s force, skill level, and repetitive motion, making it difficult to achieve uniform cleaning throughout the channel.
2. Risk of Channel Damage
Strong friction and repeated brushing can create micro-scratches inside the endoscope channel, potentially increasing the risk of infection.
3. Limitations in Cleaning Complex or Ultra-Narrow Channels
In modern endoscopes with curved paths, narrow diameters, or multiple channels, bristles often fail to make full contact or maintain consistent pressure, allowing debris to remain.
4. High Time and Physical Effort Required
Repeated back-and-forth brushing requires substantial manual effort, increasing operator fatigue and extending overall reprocessing time in high-volume endoscopy units.
Brush vs Ball Brush Comparison
| Category | Conventional Brush | Ball Brush |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Range | Limited contact area; uneven brushing on curved sections | 360° full contact with the inner wall; uniform cleaning effect |
| Channel Damage Risk | Wire or hard bristles may scratch or tear the Teflon lining | Soft brush ball prevents internal damage |
| Cleaning Time | 3–5 minutes per channel | Within 10 seconds per channel |
| Hygiene | Nylon absorbs residues, increasing contamination risk | Non-absorbent brush ball minimizes bacterial adhesion |
| Waste Generation | High medical waste due to disposable use | Low medical waste; Eco-friendly option |
| Operator Fatigue | High – repetitive manual force required | Low – Smooth suction motion reduces workload |
