ABSTRACT:
A disposable implement insertable into an endoscope and comprising at least one zone matched to the shape of the endoscope. The at least one zone is designed to be permanently deformed on account of having been used a first time by the inevitable mechanical, thermal and/or chemical treatment it undergoes in the endoscope, and before renewed use in the endoscope. Deformation of the at least one zone eliminates shape-matching of the zone to the endoscope, and is readily visually apparent to a user.
