Product Highlight- ATT-Series Air Leakage Testers

Have you heard about our 

Air Leakage Testers? 

Leak testing is the simplest way to help prevent serious and expensive damage to your flexible endoscope. While many manufacturers sell leakage testers, ESS sells the ATT-Series Airtight Leakage Tester with connectors to fit virtually all makes and models of endoscopes!

It is a simple device that uses air pressure to pressurize your endoscope to see if there is a leak somewhere in your endoscope. It comes with a "bulb" to pump air into the endoscope and a dial to measure the air pressure. 

These testers are available for: 

Olympus

Pentax

Plus Richard Wolf, Karl Storz, OPTIM, & Fujinon 7.

Once you get your Leakage Tester, the best thing to do is to get in the habit of testing your scope(s) frequently. They should be tested before and after each procedure to ensure the scope is maintaining it's water-tight seal. 

You can keep your Airtight Testers within easy reach with a rack designed specifically for the ATT-Series testers. This rack is molded in a durable white plastic and can be mounted to a wall or your endoscopy cart for quick testing of your endoscope before or after a procedure.

About Us

Have you ever wanted to know 
more about E.S.S?

Well, today is your lucky day! 

(Our ESS main office in Brewster, NY!)

It started back in 1989.

 Robert Savitt and Chris Siddall started Endoscopy Support Services, Inc. to address the growing needs in the endoscopy field. They wanted to provide a viable alternative to the major endoscope manufacturers. The implementation of this concept immediately won them endorsement within the medical and veterinary communities. 

(A "vintage" early-90's ESS Catalog! One of our earlier catalogs, when the ESS main offices were in Patterson, NY and the company's primary focus was on endoscope repairs. Now our catalogs include a large number of endoscopy products, as well as a more expanded repair center)

Now, nearly 27 years after its formation, E.S.S continues to uphold the mandate which led to its founding and have created a significant influence in the transformation of the field of endoscopy.

(Our Service Department!)

Our team of professionals work with hospitals and A.S.C.'s to reduce expenses through a variety of programs. We have specialists who can assist you in setting up an entire office of endoscopy equipment. And our service department sets the industry standard for value in endoscopy repair, with over 65 years of combined experience!

(Our website, Endoscopy.com)

We expanded to the online market, and our website, Endoscopy.com, offers a very large amount of new and used endoscopy equipment for medical and veterinary uses. Through the use of e-mail and social media, contact between us and the customer is now faster then ever. 

We offer buying tips, procedure tips, and other valuable information pertaining to human and veterinary medicine, and hope to continue doing so for many more years to come!

Product Highlight- MiSeal Thermal Vessel Sealing System

Have you heard of the 

MiSeal Thermal Vessel Sealing System?

The MiSeal Thermal Ligating System offers surgical instruments used to seal and divide tissue utilizing proprietary Thermal Fusion Technology. 

The MiSeal consists of three different parts:

Reusable 5mm Handpiece

The reusable hand-piece offers cost-effective, eco-friendly benefits compared to fully disposable devices. This hand-piece boasts a 360 degree shaft rotation, a 5 mm diameter insertion shaft, and is available in 14 cm and 35 cm lengths. 

Thermal Ligating Shears Kit

This tip utilizes proprietary Thermal Fusion technology to facilitate the precise application of heat, which minimizes collateral damage. The tip has a curved Maryland-style jaw with an active length of 16.4 mm. The instrument cord is approximately 3 meters long and connects the hand-piece to the Universal Power Supply. 

(Each kit includes five (5) tips and an active cord)

Universal Power Supply

Universal Power Supply converts AC power from a hospital-grade wall outlet into low voltage DC power required by all MiFusion instruments. The UPS is compatible with voltages worldwide. In addition, the UPS is a compact, 3-lb unit that can easily be suspended from an I.V pole or placed on any flat surface, making the UPS portable and easy to use.

Helpful Hints and Information: Part 2- Common handling errors

Common Handling Errors.

1- Delaying repairs. 

Worsens the scopes conditions. 

2- Not properly following disinfectant manufacturer's instructions and immersing scope in disinfectant too long or at improper concentrations. 

This can cause corrosion and premature wear. 

3- Immersion in fluid with the vent cap on. 

The vent is the "door" to your scope, and if left on, it allows fluid invasion. 

4- Delaying initial cleaning. 

This contributes to corrosion and premature wear. 

5- Reprocessing with other instruments.

6- Transporting and gas sterilizing without the vent cap attached. 

7- Storing in carrying case or communal storage. 

Doing this compromises sterility and proper ventilation.

The Scopes should be completely dry before storing and should be

 kept in a dry, well-ventilated environment. 

8- Not verifying compatibility of light source to scope. 

9- Manually articulating scope. 

You should only use the lever control. 

10- Third party repairs. 

11- Stretching/folding of sheathing or cover. 

Remember!

Proper maintenance and handling of your endoscopes will

 increase the life of the unit, lower repair or replacement costs,

 and reduce the possibility of cross-contamination. (to patients and other instruments.)
