Autoclavable Endoscope Components


Autoclavable Endoscope Components for the Medical OEM

Gore provides a variety of endoscope components for the Medical OEM market that will reduce the average service cost by extending the field life and reducing warranty repairs. In addition, Gore provides autoclavable solutions that enable greater durability to an endoscope device. Gore's fluoropolymer silicone composite technology, known as GORE™ SIL-KORE™ material, results in endoscope components that withstand a greater number of autoclave cycles than most other options.



Gore's expertise in fluoropolymer materials has led to development of many reliable products that withstand the rigors of the autoclave environment.  Gore's  materials enable endoscope components to provide outstanding low surface friction and offer better retention of key mechanical properties- strength, flexibility, and longevity.

Gore creates unique and innovative components for the specific endoscope device by working with the endoscope manufacturer.
