Device with handle actuated element

摘要

This disclosure may disclose, inter alia, devices, systems, and methods for cleaning or removing contamination from a lens, or for increasing visibility of a lens during surgery. For example, a device with a handle actuated element is disclosed. The device includes a shaft that includes a rod, an element coupled to a distal tip of the rod, and a handle coupled to a proximal end of the rod. Actuation of the handle into a first position may cause the handle to be configured in a substantially hexagonal shape and may cause deployment of the element from the shaft. Actuation of the handle into a second position may cause the handle to be configured in a substantially rectangular shape and may cause retraction of the element into the shaft. The device may be introduced into an abdomen, and an element on the device can be deployed during surgery.

1. A device comprising:
a shaft that includes a rod; an element coupled to a distal tip of the rod, wherein the distal tip of the rod provides an internal structure for the element; and a handle coupled to a proximal end of the rod, wherein the handle includes a top, a bottom, and sides with hinges, and wherein the handle is configured to be actuated into a first position by pressing one of the top toward the bottom or the bottom toward the top so as to cause deployment of the element from the shaft and wherein the handle is configured to be actuated into a second position through use of the hinges of the sides by pressing the sides so as to cause retraction of the element into the shaft, wherein the handle is configured to be actuated into the first position by squeezing the handle along a first direction, and wherein the handle is configured to be actuated into the second position by squeezing the handle along a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
