ABSTRACT:
An endoscope shield provides a barrier between a biopsy port and an endoscopist. The shield has a shield portion and attachment portion. The shield portion is flat and angled away from and toward the control end of the endoscope. The shield portion is located so that it separates a biopsy channel port from a barrel located on the endoscope. The shield is angled so that it overlies the barrel of the endoscope and therefore the hand of an endoscopist when placed on the barrel. A component of the shield portion extends normal to the axis of the barrel to adequately provide a barrier between the biopsy channel port and the endoscopist's head during examination procedures. An adjustable clamp releasably attaches the shield to the endoscope.
