The first mounting coupling comprises two spring-loaded clamping branches that are hinged together like a clothes pin and each form a clamping portion and an actuation portion. The second mounting coupling has a mounting rail extending in the longitudinal direction of the handle-mounting sleeve and has or forms at least one undercut that can be interlockingly clasped by the clamping branches of the first mounting coupling. Also provided is a distal tissue-clip application adapter that is connectable to the adaptable working-channel apparatus; and a surgical equipping system, having the working-channel apparatus and tissue-clip application adapter.
