Claim 8:
9. An endoscopic device comprising:
a shaft comprising a proximal section and a distal section, the distal section comprising:
a lumen having a proximal portion extending through the proximal section and a distal portion extending through the distal section, the distal portion of the lumen terminating at a distal opening; and
a torque transfer element; and

a rotatable coupling between the proximal section and the distal section;
wherein the torque transfer element extends distal to the rotatable coupling and is configured to drive rotation of the distal section relative to the proximal section, and wherein the proximal portion of the lumen and the distal portion of the lumen remain aligned as the distal section rotates relative to the proximal section, such that the proximal portion of the lumen and the distal portion of the lumen share a common axis as the distal section rotates relative to the proximal section.
