Medical device handle

摘要

A medical device handle may include an elongated handle housing, a rotatable collar disposed about the handle housing, a rotatable control knob disposed about the collar, and a slidable door disposed about the collar. The door may be rotatably locked to the collar to prevent relative rotation between the door and the collar. The door may slidable from a closed position to a first open position, and slidable from the first open position to a second open position.

主权项

1. A medical device handle, comprising:
an elongated handle housing having a radially-extending transverse ridge disposed about its circumference,wherein the transverse ridge further includes an opening extending therethrough along an outer surface of the handle housing;
a collar disposed about a proximal portion of the handle housing and rotatable relative to the handle housing, a distal end of the collar abutting a proximally-facing surface of the transverse ridge; a control knob disposed about a proximal end of the collar at a proximal end of the handle housing and rotatable relative to the handle housing; and a slidable door disposed about a distal portion of the collar, wherein the slidable door is rotatably locked to the collar, wherein the slidable door is slidable between a closed position wherein the slidable door substantially covers the distal portion of the collar and is engaged with the handle housing to prevent rotation of the slidable door relative to the handle housing, and a first open position wherein the distal portion of the collar is partially uncovered and the slidable door is disengaged from the handle housing such that rotation of the slidable door relative to the handle housing is permitted.
