The disposable endoscope valve set is a new, single-use button kit for flexible endoscopes that contains an air/water valve, a suction valve and a biopsy valve cap in one blister pack. It is offered in four fitments, built to the reference specifications of Olympus MH-438 / MH-443, Fujinon AW-500G / SB-500G, Fujinon AW-603 / SB-605 and Pentax OF-B188 / OF-B120, and can be ordered as a single set or as a pack of 10 sets.
Why Choose Single-Use Endoscope Valves
- A fresh valve set for every procedure: Single-use air/water and suction buttons remove the need to brush, clean and reprocess small valve channels between patients.
- Supports infection control: Discarding the valves after one procedure helps reduce cross-contamination risk linked to reused valves.
- Complete kit in one pack: Air/water valve, suction valve and biopsy valve cap are supplied together, so the scope is ready in one step.
- Four fitment options: Choose the version made for Olympus, Pentax, Fujinon 500G-type or Fujinon 603/605-type scopes.
- Colour-coded buttons: Each valve is colour-marked so air/water and suction are easy to tell apart during set-up.
- Single or 10-set packs: Order one set to trial the fit or 10 sets for a busy procedure list.

Use Cases for Single-Use Endoscopy Valve Kits
- Gastroscopy and colonoscopy suites that want one fresh valve set per patient.
- Hospital endoscopy units reducing valve reprocessing workload and turnaround time.
- Day surgery and ambulatory endoscopy centres with high procedure volumes.
- Veterinary endoscopy clinics using Olympus, Pentax or Fujinon flexible scopes.
- Endoscope service workshops that need valves on hand for air/water and suction testing.
How to Choose the Right Endoscope Valve Option
Check the part number of the air/water and suction valves currently fitted to your endoscope and select the option with the matching reference:
MH-438 / MH-443 for Olympus,
OF-B188 / OF-B120 for Pentax,
AW-500G / SB-500G or AW-603 / SB-605 for Fujinon.
Then choose 1 set or 10 sets. Fit the valves before the procedure, confirm air, water and suction function, and discard the set after one use according to your facility protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a disposable endoscope valve?
A disposable endoscope valve is a single-use button fitted to the control body of a flexible endoscope to control air, water or suction. It is discarded after one procedure instead of being reprocessed.
What is included in each disposable endoscope valve set?
Each blister-packed set contains one air/water valve, one suction valve and one biopsy valve cap.
Which endoscopes do these valves fit?
There are four options: Olympus scopes using MH-438 / MH-443 valves, Pentax scopes using OF-B188 / OF-B120 valves, and Fujinon scopes using AW-500G / SB-500G or AW-603 / SB-605 valves.
Can I buy a single set or a pack of 10?
Yes. Every fitment option is available as 1 set or as a value pack of 10 sets.
Can disposable endoscope valves be reused?
No. They are designed for single use and should be discarded after one procedure.
How do I know which option to order?
Match the part number on your current air/water and suction valves to the reference numbers listed for each option, or contact us with your endoscope model.
