Abstract
A device and system for allowing real-time viewing of a procedure beyond a distal end of an endoscope. An exemplary device includes a sheath that has at least two lumens and a handle. The handle includes a connector that connects to a proximal end of an endoscope, a shaft portion that rotatably connects to a proximal end of the connector and a manifold that is slidably received by the shaft portion. The manifold connects to the sheath and allows for insertion of a radial ultrasound probe and a medical tool into the sheath. A stopping device in the manifold avoids accidental needle deployment.
