Features

		C-Hook
		Allows a choice of control over the device by the physician or the assistant. Attaches the device to the endoscope just below the biopsy port.

		V-Sheath for Device Control
		The V-Sheath design allows the guidewire sheath and the injection/handle sheath to be separated offering the choice of control by the endoscopist or the assistant.

		V-Groove
		The V-Groove in the endoscope elevator locks the Linear Guide-V guidewire when its spiral markings are visible.
