ABSTRACT:
An endoscope connector comprises a cylindrical body detachably connected to a light source console and provided with an illumination optical fiber bundle and a fluid passage, an annular grooved communication chamber formed in the outer peripheral wall of the connector body to communicate with the fluid passage, a ring member rotatably surrounding the communication chamber in a fluid tightness, and a fluid-guiding fitting mounted on the ring member. Application of the ring member in combination with the annular grooved communication chamber reduces a length of time required to free a protective tube for coupling the connector to the endoscope from twistings which probably arise from the unavoidable rotation of the endoscope during insertion into a coeliac cavity, thereby decreasing the operation time of the endoscope.
