Abstract:
A compound sheath comprising: an endoscopic channel arranged for accepting an elongated endoscopic imaging device; a parallel use channel arranged for accepting a catheter-based tool, and a multi-channel hub that couples to the proximal end of the parallel use channel comprising: a rinse port that couples to a fluid reservoir device that injects fluid; a withdrawal port that couples to a vacuum forming device that removes fluid; a tool port for passing a catheter-based tool; wherein the multi-channel hub establishes a fluid channel for fluid communication between the parallel use channel and the rinse port or the withdrawal port, and a mechanical channel for passing therethrough a catheter-based tool between the parallel use channel and the tool port such that fluid from the rinse port or the withdrawal port and the catheter-based tool of the tool port are simultaneously passing all along the parallel use channel.

Claim (Index 11):
The multi-channel hub of  claim 1 , wherein the parallel use channel is open at the distal end thereof to provide fluid and mechanical communication between the parallel use channel and the body of the patient external to the multi-channel hub, and the endoscopic channel is closed to prevent fluid communication between the endoscopic channel and the body of the patient external to the multi-channel hub.
