ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to tube cleaners for hygienic cleaning of tubes, e.g. endoscopic tubes. A first embodiment has a body made of resilient material extending axially and having a socket at one end for mounting of the cleaner to the end of the rod. Integral blades project out from the body, each blade having an arcuate outer edge to scrape along the inside wall of the tube. The blades are at axially spaced locations and, in end view, they overlap so that cleaning occurs around 360.degree.. A second embodiment has a core such as a wire, and the body and integral blades are moulded onto the wire core.
