The endoscope basket is made from stainless steel, electro polished, free of burrs, with closed wire loops. Due to the removable lid with special twist fastener, the handling is much facilitated. The clamping element is made from soft silicon on a stainless steel support, ensuring an optimum fixing of the endoscope optics.
