Core Tip	Commonly used cleaning brushes in the reprocessing of flexible endoscopes often cause damage within the working channels. Our team has developed a spray flushing brush to replace traditional bristle brushes in the cleaning process. Compared with traditional cleaning brushes, the spray flushing system in reprocessing of flexible endoscopes did not compromise the cleaning quality and microbial cultures. However, the spray flushing system demonstrated better debris removal from the working channels and reduced working channel damage.
