ABSTRACT:
A sleeve for medical instruments such as endoscopes is disclosed. The sleeve is attachable in any axial or rotational orientation on the endoscope tube. A clamp-like locking means holds the sleeve securely to the endoscope tube without causing damage, while a locking screw permits easy locking, releasing or adjustment. A flared extension at the distal end of the sleeve facilitates stabilization during medical procedures.
