ABSTRACT:
An endoscope sheath cleaning device comprises an upper plate, a hole formed in the upper plate to allow for the insertion of an endoscope sheath into the cleaning device, a nozzle head disposed under the hole, an endoscope sheath cleaning mechanism which includes brushes or spongy cleaning members and is set under the nozzle head, a rotation mechanism for the cleaning mechanism, a J-shaped or vertically straight endoscope sheath guiding tube, one end of which is set concentric with the endoscope sheath insertion hole, and a drain tube branched from the lowest part of the endoscope sheath guiding tube. An annular jet chamber is formed in the cylindrical nozzle head. The nozzle head is penetrated by a plurality of nozzles whose nozzle openings are projected into the jet chamber, and which are directed so as to cause a washing liquid to be ejected over the endoscope sheath cleaning mechanism. The endoscope sheath is repeatedly taken into and out of the guiding tube through the insertion hole. The peripheral surface of the endoscope sheath is more quickly and reliably cleaned, as the repeated up and down movements of the endoscope sheath through the guiding tube continue. Where running water is used as a washing liquid, not only cleaning but rinsing as well can be easily carried out without providing any other extra means than the cleaning device itself.
