ABSTRACT:
With respect to an endoscope distal hood component of the present invention, a protrusion of a distal hood component fitted to the distal end of an endoscope is formed to be elastically deformable in order that when this protrusion is pressed against an observation target, the protrusion is deformed due to an external force at that time, and a part thereof is entered into the range of the observational field of view. Since a part of the protrusion is entered into the range of the observational field of view, the surgeon becomes aware that the protrusion is pressed against the observation target, and does not further press the protrusion against the observation target.
