Claim 0:
1. A medical apparatus comprising:
an endoscopic tool comprising first and second members longitudinally slidable relative to each other;
a control housing comprising a connector configured to removably connect to a proximal end of an endoscope, where the connector comprises a portion which is deflectable and configured to resiliently snap onto a deflection control lever at the proximal end of the endoscope, the deflection control lever extending external to an outermost surface of the endoscope for engagement by a user and operably coupled to an actuator disposed internally within the endoscope, the deflection control lever configured to control deflection of a distal end of the endoscope away from a longitudinal axis of the endoscope; and
a control actuation mechanism on the control housing, where the control actuation mechanism is in mechanical communication with the second member and configured to actuate the second member to capture biological material;
where the first member comprises a sheath, and where the control actuation mechanism is configured to allow for deflection of the distal end of the endoscope and at least one of actuation of a basket on the second member or actuation of the sheath with a single finger of a user.
