An endoscopic: securing system for use with a cap member (20) disposed on the distal end of an endoscope (50), the securing system including a tether (10) and a safety coupling (30). The safety coupling is attached around the body of an endoscope and is coupled to the cap member by. the tether to prevent distal movement or dislodgment of the cap member. When the system is placed onto an endoscope, the tethers extend axially along the endoscope to the safety coupling. The clamp can also be disposed proximally adjacent to a ridge on the endoscope to prevent the safety coupling from moving distally toward the cap member.
