Abstract
A master interface device for remotely controlling at least one instrument mounted in an endoscope. The device includes at least one control handle device in the form of a subassembly able to be manipulated in the same degrees of freedom as the associated control instrument. The control device includes on the one hand a gripping and manoeuvring shaft, designed for gripping with the whole hand by the operator, and on the other hand a mounting bracket supporting said shaft. Translation and pivoting of the bracket controls respectively translation and rotation around itself of the associated instrument, and the pivoting of the shaft relative to the bracket controls the bending of the end of the instrument concerned.
