Abstract
Devices, methods and kits for cleaning and/or drying endoscopic instruments, such as endoscopes, are provided. In one aspect, a drying device for use with an endoscopic instrument comprises an elongate member configured for advancement through an internal lumen within the endoscopic instrument and a drying member removably coupled to a portion of the elongate member. At least a portion of the drying member has an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the elongate member and may be shaped and configured to substantially maintain contact with a wall of the lumen as the elongate member is advanced through the lumen. The elongate member and the drying member are sterilized or disinfected so that the disinfected and/or sterilized device channel is not compromised by the drying process.
