ABSTRACT:
An endoscope washing apparatus in which the optical-fiber tube of an endoscope is submerged in flowing water into which a multiplicity of air streams are injected to produce a myriad of foams, which impinge upon the outer peripheral surface of the tube for removing contaminants or stains from the surface in cooperation with the flow of water. By preferance, water may be passed through the conduits in the optical-fiber tube and further through the conduits in a light-guide tube of the endoscope and, subsequently, the optical-fiber tube and the conduits in the optical-fiber and light-guide tubes may be treated with a disinfectant or sterilizing solution.
