Taber's Medical Dictionary
suction channel
A passage within an endoscope through which fluids may be injected or removed. During endoscopy it is used to draw blood, feces, mucus, or secretions away from the lens of the scope, so that clinical observations can be made with clarity and tissues can be selected for specimen collection.
