Abstract

Abstract The medical instrument, e.g. endoscope or biopsy tongs, has an oblong casing for insertion in a body cavity. It incorporates a passage (18) for lubricant, together with an inlet (8) at the proximal end of the casing for delivery of lubricant (26) into the passage. The latter can be formed by a tube passing through the body of the endoscope etc. the inlet being situated at the actuating portion (5) of the latter. At the distal end there can be outlet passages (20, 22) discharging the lubricant onto the outside surface of the casing.
