Technical aid for facilitating emergency endoscopy.
Emergency endoscopy is usually complicated by unfavorable examination conditions. The irrigating capability of the instrument is inadequate. The use of an easy-to-operate volume- and pressure-driven irrigation pump has proved very efficient and safe in the hands of an experienced endoscopist, and helps establish the correct diagnosis or provide proper treatment.
