Basket forceps assembly for endoscope

摘要

A basket forceps assembly for use with an endoscope which includes a basket connected to a front end tip and which may be stowed into a sheath. A passage for supplying fluid is formed in either the sheath or the front end tip so as to provide a communication between the interior and the exterior of the sheath when the basket is withdrawn into the sheath and the front end tip is fitted therein. In this manner, fluid supply through the sheath is enabled when the front end tip is filled into the sheath.
