The Department of Perioperative Medicine is requesting the purchase of an EndoDry Cabinet to support safe storage of endoscopes by protecting them from damage and contamination in a controlled environment.  Reducing endoscope damage and improving the storage conditions leads to cost savings due to repairs and replacements of damaged scopes which happen when scopes are handled frequently between patient use.  Additionally, this process is best practice when turning over scopes in between patients.
