SURGICAL ADAPTER FOR USE WITH AN ENDOSCOPE

摘要

There is disclosed a selectively removable connector adapter for use in connecting a medical device to an endoscope. The connector adapter comprises a shaft member defined by a proximal end and a distal end and having a passageway extending therethrough and configured for receiving a portion of a medical device; a support member; and at least two connecting members that are pivotally connected to the support member. The distal end of the shaft member is fixedly attached to the support member; and the connecting members cooperate to define a cavity therein for receiving a proximal portion of an endoscope to selectively secure the connector adapter to the endoscope.
