ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic retriever comprising an endoscope and retriever is disclosed, wherein the illuminating light passes at right angles to the plane of the grasping jaws of the retriever. In one embodiment of the invention, at least one illuminating light guide fiber travels partly through at least one of the grasping arms and passes perpendicular to the length of at least one of the grasping jaws through at least one of the grasping laws, terminating in at least one of the two jaws at right angles to the plane of the jaw. The endoscope may have a torque handle to control the grasping force of the jaws of the retriever.
