The Company: Based in Stoke-on-Trent, Partners for Endoscopy was founded in 2004 and supplies both public and private hospitals in the UK with specialist services, cleaning equipment & consumables, for flexible endoscopes. Flexible endoscopes are multi-use medical devices that can't be sterilized in an autoclave due to the sensitivity of the materials & electronics, consequently they require high-level disinfection to prevent cross-infection and maximise patient safety.
