  • Treatment carts designed for organized storage and transport of cleaned endoscopes, drugs, endoscopic equipment, and other supplies used during endoscopic procedures (e.g., bronchoscopy, gastroscopy, colonoscopy), facilitating their use while performing the procedure. These carts typically consist of a multiple-drawer, -shelf, or -shelf/drawer cabinet-like structure; they usually have sliding doors, swivel casters of at least 10 cm (4 in) diameter, and a working surface (e.g., the top of the cart). Most carts include holders for the endoscopes; some also include special soft plastic brackets to secure the endoscope heads and or a means to warm endoscopic (e.g., specula) devices used in the procedure. Endoscopy carts are usually manufactured using materials (e.g., stainless steel, polypropylene, acrylic) that permit ease of cleaning; they are used in hospitals and in other healthcare facilities and doctors\' offices. Dedicated endoscopy carts may also include equipment and/or attachments appropriate to perform laparoscopic or arthroscopic endoscopy procedures.
