What is the cover of laparoscopy and arthroscopy cameras?

Before starting the discussion and knowing about laparoscopic or arthroscopic camera covers, it is necessary to know about new surgical methods (means endoscopic surgery), so that we can further mention the definition, use, and features of their camera covers.

What is an endoscopy?

Today one of the types of equipment that are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases are endoscopes, which have made dramatic changes in diagnostic and surgical cases and have been widely developed as a minimally invasive method; So that today, if it is possible to use this method, invasive surgeries are avoided.

In the older generation of this equipment, physicians used the lens eyepiece directly after launching and inserting it into the desired location and performed the process of diagnosis or surgery, which made the operation difficult for the physician.

But in the new generation, for better visibility and performing easier and safer steps, other accessories include the camera, receiver, and monitor are used. There is a small camera with a connector at the end to connect to the lens eyepiece and a cable in the sequence that is connected by the interface to the video device to prepare the waves sent from the lens for processing and imaging, and finally, the image of the surgical location can be seen on the monitor.

Uses of endoscopes

• Flexible endoscopes according to their diameter and length Are used in various specialties such as gastrointestinal (gastric, esophageal, colon and … endoscopy), respiratory system (lung, trachea, and airways), urinary and sexual system (Cystoscopy and…), Gynecological (endoscopy of the uterus and genital area) and etc.
• Rigid endoscopes due to the size of their lens are used in most surgeries include:

General surgery (such as removal of the appendix, gallbladder, tumors, part of the intestine or liver and etc.), Gynecological surgery (removal of ovarian cysts, uterus, masses, etc.), chest (removal of part of the lung, masses, etc.), genital and Urinary tract (removal of stones, masses, prostate and etc.), ear, throat and nose(ENT) (removal of sinus polyps and nasal lesions and opening of eardrum and etc.), Orthopedics (removal of the knee meniscus, repair of tendons and ligaments, etc.), neurosurgery and many other surgeries.

What are the uses of laparoscopic and arthroscopic camera covers?

Since the camera, lens, and tools used in endoscopes must be sterilized and sterilization of the camera due to the sensitivity of the lens and cable with steam is not possible or shortens its life; they must be sterilized by the ethylene oxide method, which requires an ethylene oxide autoclave and takes at least 8 hours just for the sterilization process. (Collection, washing, disinfection, and packing times should also be considered.) If the treatment center has the equipment, it can use each camera for only one operation.

But what is the solution to this problem in the hospital?

Generally, sterile coatings (disposable covers) are used for those devices and equipment that should be sterilized and it is not possible or difficult or requires a lot of time to sterilize them.

In some cases, fabric covers and reusable covers are used, which must be washed, disinfected, packaged, and sterilized after each use, and due to their permeability, there will be risks.

And in many cases, these cameras due to newer innovations and up-to-date systems, and also more awareness, fortunately, they use disposable covers to cover these devices.

Due to a large number of laparoscopy surgeries and its high ratio to other endoscopy surgeries and also the most used camera covers in them, these covers are mainly known as laparoscopic camera covers.

In many cases, it is also called Arthroscopy Camera Cover, Cystoscopy Camera Cover, Proctoscopy Camera Cover, Hysteroscopy Camera Cover, Thoracoscopy Camera Cover, Bronchoscopy Camera Cover, Sinoscopy Camera Cover, Colonoscopy Camera Cover, Esophagoscopy Camera Cover, Gastroscopy Camera Cover and generally any type of endoscopy camera cover may be known as a cover for those operations.
