Abstract
The disclosed technology is directed to a medical instrument for endoscopic use. The medical instrument comprises an elongated open ended over tube configured to receive an endoscope in a direction along a longitudinal central axis of the over tube. The endoscope travels retractably from a distal end of the over tube. A tube is disposed concentrically outwardly of the over tube so that a treatment tool is inserted through the tube and is projected forwardly with respect to the over tube from a distal end of the tube. A balloon is disposed on an external surface of the over tube and is expandable outwardly in a radial direction of the over tube.
