Abstract

An illuminable medical instrument for use in an apparatus for the inspection of body cavities comprises a light emitting portion 3 and means for attaching the light emitting portion to an elongate, light transmissive tube 4. The light emitting portion 3 comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes 11 arranged in a ring, to align with a circumferential edge of the tube. The attachment means may be a clip 5 and/or mounting collar 17. Insufflation means may also be provided (10, figure 2). A hinged viewing window 6 may allow access for other instruments into the cavity.
