New disposable scope cover tested for safer medical procedures

NCT ID NCT05429203

Summary

This study compared two types of medical scopes used in ERCP procedures, which treat problems in the bile ducts and pancreas. Researchers tested whether a scope with a new single-use disposable cover was as safe and easy for doctors to use as the traditional reusable scope. Over 300 adult patients needing this procedure were randomly assigned to have it done with one of the two scope types.
