ConMed Accessory Introducer – Endoscopic Access and Instrument Guide (000160) (6 Pack)

Description

The ConMed Accessory Introducer (000160) is a disposable endoscopic tool used to guide accessories smoothly through the working channel of an endoscope. It provides controlled entry for instruments such as biopsy forceps, brushes, snares, and injection needles while protecting the internal channel lining from abrasion or impact during insertion.

Designed for GI, pulmonary, and surgical endoscopy workflows, this introducer helps maintain scope integrity, reduces channel wear, and supports efficient procedural flow. Its tapered design enables atraumatic entry, while the rigid proximal section provides better handling and control. As a single-use device, it meets infection control requirements and removes the need for reprocessing.

The introducer is compatible with standard endoscope channels used in gastroenterology, bronchoscopy, and general endoscopy suites.
