?:definition
  • Endoscope overtubes designed to facilitate the advancement of flexible endoscopes through the gastrointestinal tract, particularly portions of the gastrointestinal tract such as the small intestine that are less amenable to endoscopic access. These overtubes are typically single-use devices constructed of latex or silicone with an inner diameter and length appropriate to accommodate the endoscope (i.e., approximately 10 mm inner diameter, approximately 140 cm in length). Enteroscope advancement overtubes are intended to work with single- or double-balloon enteroscope systems and typically incorporate an air-inflatable balloon at their distal end and a connection port for an air pump at their proximal end. The body of these overtubes is typically accordion-shaped, which facilitates plication of the small intestine walls during enteroscope advancement.
