Abstract
A cover () for a shaft of a medical scoping device comprises tubular member () arranged for application on the distal tip of the medical scoping device. The cover () comprises a plurality of projecting elements () spaced apart circumferentially around the tubular member (), each projecting element having a base portion () and an arm portion (). The projecting elements are pivotably mounted on the tubular member about a pivot axis. The base portion () comprises a detent (), and the tubular member comprises a contact region, for example a protuberance (), said contact region being located such that pivoting movement of the projecting element for moving the arm portion in a distal direction can effect impacting of the detent () on the contact region ().
