Ratcheting handle for intraluminal catheter systems

摘要

A ratcheting handle actuator provides for a tool to actuate an intraluminal catheter system for treatment at an intraluminal site by repeated movements of the handle. This allows for actuation over a greater distance than a physician might be able to perform in a single motion while preserving a direct correspondence between the movements of the ratcheting handle and the actuation of the intraluminal device.
