Many O-rings and gaskets used in flexible endoscope construction are commercially available. IMS tests all O-rings and gaskets for material and durometer (hardness) properties to ensure an appropriate match. Through the use of its Advanced Component Engineering™ protocol, IMS can obtain O-rings and gaskets that are not universally available by defining the component’s properties for commercial manufacturers. IMS does not use flexible sealants in place of O-rings or gaskets. Flexible sealants are used only to replace the flexible sealants used in the original construction of the endoscope.
