ABSTRACT:
An elongated sheath body for an endoscope has a channel provided in the sheath body to allow the endoscope to be inserted into the sheath body. The endoscope channel has a first opening at a distal end of the sheath body and a second opening at a proximal end of the sheath body. The endoscope-covering sheath is provided with a wiper provided near the first opening and a mechanism which drives the wiper. The wipers can wipe adhering matter which hinders the viewing field of the endoscope.
