MICROWAVE ABLATION CATHETER, HANDLE, AND SYSTEM

摘要

A handle for longitudinal movement of a first tubular member over a second tubular member includes a handle body, a nose cone, a locking mechanism, and a retraction control. The retraction control has first and second positions relative to the nose cone for transitioning the locking mechanism between locked and unlocked positions thereof and for moving the nose cone between extended and retracted positions thereof. In addition, a support system includes a rail, a lower support, and an instrument support. The lower support is configured to selectively fix the bronchoscope relative to the rail. The instrument support is slidably disposed on and lockable to the rail. The instrument support is configured to releasably couple to a surgical instrument inserted through the bronchoscope to fix the position of a portion of the surgical instrument relative to the bronchoscope.
