Claim 0:
1. An endoscopic deployment device, comprising:
a body mountable on an endoscopic device, the body having a movable carrier couplable to an elongated end effector device, the elongated end effector device having an end effector shaft covered by an outer sheath and an end effector extending from a distal end of the end effector shaft, the outer sheath being sized and shaped for insertion through a working channel of an endoscopic shaft of the endoscopic device, the body having a carrier channel sized for the movable carrier to slide therein, wherein the end effector is actuatable between an extended open position and a retracted closed position by sliding the movable carrier in the carrier channel which in turn slides the outer sheath over the end effector shaft to uncover or cover the end effector;
a communication interface extending from the body and configured to be mated with a corresponding communication interface on the endoscopic device on which the body is mounted to receive power therefrom and exchange data therewith; and
a motor having a drive shaft coupled to the movable carrier, wherein the motor is configured to rotate the drive shaft to slide the movable carrier in the carrier channel and actuate the end effector in response to a signal.
