Endoscopic apparatus (400) is provided, having a distal end (102) for insertion into a body of a patient and a proximal end (104) that is held outside the body of the patient. The apparatus (400) includes a proximal cylinder (404), disposed in a vicinity of the proximal end (104) of the endoscopic apparatus (400). A proximal piston (406) is slidably contained within the proximal cylinder (404). A distal cylinder (328) is disposed in a vicinity of the distal end (102) of the endoscopic apparatus (400), and a distal piston (310) is slidably contained within the distal cylinder (328). A tube (402) for containing a liquid is coupled between the proximal (404) and distal (328) cylinders. A tool (e.g., biopsy tool 412) is coupled to be actuated by displacement of the distal piston (310), so as to perform a mechanical action on tissue of the body or contents of the body, responsive to displacement of the distal piston (310).

La présente invention concerne un appareil endoscopique comportant une extrémité distale (102) à insérer dans l'anatomie d'un patient, et une extrémité proximale qui est maintenue à l'extérieur de l'anatomie du patient. L'appareil comporte un cylindre proximal (404) placé au voisinage de l'extrémité proximale de l'appareil endoscopique. Un piston proximal (406) est contenu coulissant à l'intérieur du cylindre proximal. Un cylindre distal (328) est disposé au voisinage de l'extrémité distale de l'appareil endoscopique, un piston distal (310) étant contenu coulissant à l'intérieur du cylindre distal. Un tube (402) destiné à contenir un liquide est couplé entre le cylindre proximal et le cylindre distal. Un outil, tel qu'un outil de biopsie (115) est couplé de façon à être actionné par déplacement du piston distal, de façon à effectuer une action mécanique sur le tissu anatomique ou le contenu anatomique, en réaction au déplacement du piston distal.
