Abstract
An endoscopic device has a handle including an adapter, a shaft connected to the handle, and one or more wires within the handle. The adapter defines one or more openings in a side or proximal end of the adapter. The shaft has a plurality of lumens extending from a proximal end of the shaft to a distal end of the shaft. A first lumen of the plurality of lumens is a working channel for receiving a medical instrument. Each of the one or more wires enter through the one or more openings in the adapter for guiding the one or more wires to a corresponding lumen other than the first lumen and to the distal end of the shaft.
