ABSTRACT:
A brush is provided for cleaning endoscope channels which comprises a tubular cannula having a first end and a second end. A wire insert is fitted within the cannula. A first brush having bristles supported on a first core is secured within the first end and a second brush having bristles supported on a second core is secured within the second end. The first core is spaced apart from the wire insert by a distance so as to leave a length of unsupported cannula. A flexible tubular tip is also secured on the first core with a substantial length of the tip free of the core. A depth limit stop having a stop surface thereon is fixed on the cannula spaced from the end of the second core by a distance which prevents the end of the second core from contacting endoscope channels.
