title: Care and cleaning of the endoscope.
abstract: The purchase of veterinary endoscopy equipment requires a large investment on the part of the hospital. To ensure good return on the investment as well as to provide adequate service to clients, the equipment should be properly maintained. Close attention to this detail enables the practitioner to extend the life of the endoscope and its accessory instruments.
