The Elevator Mechanism Brush also features an ergonomic handle fashioned from recyclable polypropylene for intentions of controlled grip and precision movement, the adjoining flexible neck provides ease of access when cleaning endoscope elevator wire and the immediate area of the wire channel opening (when present) surrounding it.
