A medical device is herein described for provision of a pressurized fluid through interchangeable probes. In the preferred embodiment of this medical device, the interchangeable probes are mounted to a handset having a quick disconnect/reconnect mount which not only permits rapid attachment and removal of such probes to the handset, but also the freedom of change in orientation of the probe relative to the handset to accommodate variable condition/requirements of an operative procedure and clinician preferences. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, quick disconnect/reconnect mount of this invention permits rotational movements of the probe tip while preserving sealing engagement thereof to the handset.

[ What is claimed is:] [10.] A combination endoscopic surgical valve and valve adaptor for coupling a non-threaded attachment member of an endoscopic surgical probe to a threaded probe accepting member at an outlet of an endoscopic surgical valve so that a plurality of different, interchangeable endoscopic surgical probes may be both rapidly engaged to and disengaged from the endoscopic surgical valve, comprising:a surgical valve having an inlet and an outlet including a probe mount member operatively associated with said outlet;an endoscopic surgical valve adaptor, comprising:a first threaded end shaped for operative threaded association with the threaded probe accepting member of the endoscopic surgical valve;a second non-threaded end shaped for operative association with the non-threaded attachment member of a surgical probe by linearly moving the attachment member with respect to said second non-threaded end of said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor; anda connection assembly including a seal on said second end of said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor;wherein:said seal provides a seal connection between said second end of said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor and the attachment member of the surgical probe coupled thereto;said connection assembly permits rotation of the probe attachment member coupled to said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor with respect to said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor without disengagement of the probe attachment member from said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor; andsaid connection assembly permits both rapid engagement with and disengagement from the probe attachment member by exclusively linear movement of the probe attachment member and said endoscopic surgical valve adaptor with respect to each other.
