Abstract
A medical device includes a tube end to which a tip having a medical tool is attached. The tip includes a tip housing and a lock tab, as well as a yoke. The tube end includes an outer tube and an inner shaft, in which the inner shaft engages the yoke and the outer tube engages the tip housing. The lock tab fits into a recess in the outer tube to prevent twisting of the tip when engaged with the tube end, and the yoke includes a locking ring to which a spring protrudes, to fixedly and detachably connect the tip to the tube end.
