The tube has a first lumen with a proximal end and an open distal end to be placed inside a body cavity. An outer wall encloses the first lumen and a camera lumen. A camera module ( 10 ) is arranged in the camera lumen at a distal end thereof so that the camera module is positioned adjacent the distal end of the first lumen. An image transmission cable ( 13 ) attached to the camera module extends through the camera lumen to connect to an image display device. The camera module is fixed in the camera lumen by means of a camera housing ( 14 ) including a tubular housing part ( 17 ) surrounding the camera module and a distal end wall ( 18 ). The tubular housing part and the distal end wall are integrally moulded and form one single housing element ( 19 ). The tubular housing part fits tightly into the camera lumen of the tube.
