PullThru Comparison Study
This study aimed to determine the most effective cleaning device among three different types of brush. The results indicate that the PullThru device is the most effective of the three at removing contamination from the internal channels of endoscopes, demonstrating a 93% greater efficacy than the Single Headed Brush and a 79% greater efficacy than the Double Headed Brush.

Birmingham Study, University Hospitals
The Birmingham study assessed the performance of the PULL THRU™ after one pass through a pre contaminated channel against a bristle brush after five passes through the channel using a Ninhydrin test to measure detectable protein and a visual inspection was made to detect soil.
2011
Deventer Study
The Deventer study compared the amount of protein removal in the channel of a range of colonoscopies after brushing with a reusable bristle brush, a single use bristle brush and a PULL THRU™.
