Surgical instrument handle

摘要

A hand-held surgical instrument with an improved handle, the instrument being of the type generally including a handle and a tool with a body member having at least one articulated member thereon. The handle has an elongated base, an elongated lever with a downwardly projecting actuator arm and a mechanism for connecting the lever and base at a rearward pivot point, which mimics the natural pivot point of the surgeon's hand. An actuator of the surgical tool moves an actuator rod distally by closing the handle lever, and the lever is biased in an open position by a spring longitudinally positioned around the actuator rod within the base.
