Advanced flow bronchoscope

An adapter for a tool port of a bronchoscope that is continuous with a main shaft of the bronchoscope, comprising:

• a first member configured to be coupled to the tool port of the bronchoscope;
• and
• a second member rotationally coupled to the first member, the second member including a port to receive a tool;
• wherein rotation of the second member relative to the first member moves the port from a first position to a second position.

A bronchoscope comprising:

• a main shaft defined by a hollow tube extending from a proximal end of the bronchoscope to an open distal end of the bronchoscope;
• a first port defined at the proximal end that is in fluid communication with the main shaft via a first tube, the first port configured to receive one or more operative tools;
• an adapter coupled to the first port, the adapter including
• a first member configured to be coupled to the first port, and
• a second member rotationally coupled to the first member, the second member including a tool port to receive a tool,
• wherein rotation of the second member relative to the first member moves the tool port from a first position to a second position;
• a second port defined at the proximal end that is in fluid communication with the main shaft, the second port defining a ventilation port to deliver air to a patient via the main shaft;
• a ventilation tube fluidly coupling the second port to the main shaft, wherein the ventilation shaft is fluidly separated from the first tube by a dividing wall.
