Abstract: A sheath device (1) suitable for endoscopic instruments (2) is disclosed. The device (1) comprises of an elongated tubular member (4) and a flushing unit (5) connected to the end of the tubular member. The essential feature of the device (1) is the ability of an injection needle to be rotated with respect to the tubular member (4) axis without the need to rotate the flushing unit (5) at the same time thus removing the possibility of tangling the attached tubing or causing nuisance to the surgeon. The elongated tubular member (4) has a proximal end (6), a distal open end (7), a sidewall extending between the proximal end (6) and the distal open end (7) and least one fluid channel (13) extending longitudinally from the proximal end (6) to a fluid exit. The flushing unit (5) includes an open end suitable for receiving a first endoscopic instrument (2), a fluid inlet being in contact with the fluid channel (13) and a fluid outlet. The tubular member and the flushing unit together define a first interior guiding passage extending longitudinally from the open end of the flushing unit to the distal open end (7) of the tubular member (4) for sheathing at least a part of the first endoscopic instrument (2). The connection between the tubular member (4) and the flushing unit (5) allows for axial rotation of the tubular member (4) in relation to the flushing unit (5). The tubular member (4) further comprises a second guiding passage extending substantially longitudinal from a location near the proximal end (6) or from the proximal end (6) to the distal end (7) of the tubular member (4), the second passage being adapted to receive and guide the injection needle. The second guiding passage comprises an inlet (12) in its end closest to the proximal end (6) of the tubular member (4), the inlet extending through the sidewall of the tubular member.
