ABSTRACT:
A treatment apparatus for insertion in a forceps channel of an endoscope. The treatment apparatus includes a treatment instrument, a flexible element, and a cover tube. The flexible element is slidable within the cover tube and the treatment instrument is provided at a distal end of the flexible instrument. A distal end of the cover tube expands to receive the treatment instrument as the flexible element is drawn toward a proximal end of the cover tube. The treatment device may include a connecting instrument that supports the cover tube within the forceps channel and seals a proximal end of the forceps channel.
