HCHA Colonoscopy, Endoscopy scopes​
The Foundation and Hospital Auxiliary both donated large amounts toward the purchase of new equipment used for Endoscopies (seeing down the esophagus), Colonoscopies (seeing the colon), and Cystoscopies (seeing the bladder). The purchase consisted of two Endoscopes, two Colonoscopes, and one Cystoscope. It also included the purchase of a new Computerized Tower which connects the scopes with a monitor to allow the surgeon to see the procedure, along with a new larger monitor; a new scope system that allows us to use carbon dioxide instead of regular oxygen, which is easier for the body to absorb so there are less problems with bloating after the procedure. We also purchased a new DSD Edge, which cleans the scopes, a Scope Buddy - which helps speed up the prewash of scopes, an Instrument Washer for pre-washing instruments prior to sterilization, and a cabinet for storage of the scopes.
