Abstract
A tissue clip application fitting or retrofitting set comprising a cap attachment configured to be mounted on the distal end portion of a shaft-type medical endoscope. The cap attachment has a proximal mounting or placement portion and a distal tissue clip holding portion, in the region of which a cavity open at least in the distal direction is formed inside a radially outward-pointing peripheral surface. A tissue clip is supported on the peripheral surface, and can be displaced in the distal direction by a pull-off device in the form of a pull-off ring mounted on the radial outer peripheral surface of the tissue clip holding portion so that it can axially slide and move the tissue clip. The pull-off ring is operated by a cable pull that is in direct contact with the pull-off ring for the transmission of sliding force in at least two coupling or engagement points.
