Hello, and welcome to SingleUseEndoscopy.com.

We created this online learning center to explore topics in flexible endoscopy and the work being performed in hospitals, clinics and private practices. The content is geared to a wide-ranging audience comprised of both clinical professionals and healthcare executives. 

If you’re a physician, a nurse, an infection-control specialist, a supply-chain executive or a hospital system CEO, the storytelling here at SingleUseEndoscopy.com is crafted with an eye on helping you navigate a rapidly changing endoscopy landscape. 

The editors and writers for this website bring decades of award-winning experience in marketing and journalism. We’ll also partner with industry experts to lend an analytical eye to complex topics in guest commentaries. 

The content – articles, videos, webinars, guest columns and eventually infographics and podcasts – goes well beyond the use of flexible rhinolaryngoscopes, bronchoscopes, duodenoscopes, and cystoscopes (and many other kinds of endoscopes in the coming months). On this website, we’ll cover best practices and new developments in single-use and preventing cross-contamination as well as workflow improvements and cost-effectiveness considerations. 

The content has been organized by clinical area (ENT/Otorhinolaryngology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Thoracic Anesthesiology and Urology) and subject matter (Infection Prevention, Emerging Technologies and Health Economics) as well as where the procedures take place, whether that’s the emergency room, the OR or the endoscospy suite.  

SingleUseEndoscopy.com was developed by Ambu USA, a pioneer in single-use medical devices with its global headquarters in Ballerup, Denmark. Since 1937, breakthrough ideas have fueled Ambu’s work bringing efficient healthcare solutions to life. 

Ambu’s innovations range from early inventions like the Ambu Bag^™ resuscitator and the legendary BlueSensor^™ electrodes to landmark solutions like the aScope^™ endoscope — the world’s first single-use flexible video scope. 

Societal guidelines have undergone significant updates in the last decade as infection control challenges have grown more prominent, and the guidelines and technology for performing flexible endoscopy will undergo many changes in the coming years. Our goal is to make this learning center a valuable resource for your flexible endoscopy work and the emerging technologies behind single-use products.
