The endoscope is a minimally invasive medical imaging instrument, which is equipped with precision components such as optical lenses and mechanical devices, and can penetrate into the body through natural pores or small surgical incisions to observe and diagnose disease tissues. Endoscopes have been widely used in general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, thoracic surgery, orthopedics and other departments. Since its birth, the endoscope has a history of 200 years, and has gone through several iterations from hard mirror to soft mirror, optical to electronic. In recent years, disposable endoscope with its “consumable” characteristics on the historical stage, for the traditional endoscope to provide a new supplement different from the traditional endoscope, disposable endoscope has significant advantages. The first is that it solves a major pain point of traditional endoscopes, that is, the problem of safety. Due to the precision of the traditional endoscope structure, it is difficult to disassemble for cleaning and disinfection, and cross-infection may occur between different patients in the process of repeated use. Although the state has set a normative process for the use of endoscopes, there is still a possibility of negligence in actual clinical practice. In the United States, the number of endoscopy-related infections reported by the media alone can reach more than 1,000 per year. The disposable endoscope can be discarded after use, perfectly avoiding the problem of cross infection, which greatly improves the safety in clinical use. Cost advantage is the second key. The cost of the traditional endoscope is divided into four parts: investment cost, maintenance cost, reprocessing cost and infection treatment cost, while the disposable endoscope only has the investment cost of the initial purchase of equipment, omitting the latter three links. According to the data of the Eggshell Research Institute, the initial acquisition cost of the repeated soft mirror can reach 2 million yuan, while the initial acquisition cost of the disposable endoscope is only 100,000 yuan. In terms of medical costs, according to Xinguo’s prospectus, in a variety of examinations, the medical costs of disposable endoscopes are lower than those of repeated soft mirrors.
