Abstract
The control cable for a rockable forceps elevator of a side-looking endoscope has an elastomeric sleeve covering the exterior part of the cable from the endoscope head to the connection of the cable with the elevator. Seals are effected between the sleeve and the wall and between the sleeve and the distal end of the cable. An elongated shield is spaced from the control cable and extends proximally and parallel to the cable, to deflect the forceps or other flexible instrument emerging from the endoscope, and to protect the sleeve and cable from contact with the forceps.
