Abstract
A medical system may include an insertion device having a handle, a shaft coupled to the handle of the insertion device, and a port positioned on the handle of the insertion device. The port may be in fluid communication with a working channel of the shaft. The port may be a female luer port. The medical system may further include a medical device having a control member terminating in an end effector, a handle having a plurality of circumferential slots along the length of the handle, and a plunger moveable along a longitudinal axis of the handle of the medical device between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the end effector may be positioned within the shaft, and in the second position, the end effector may be positioned distally of the shaft.
Claims20
A medical system, comprising:
- an insertion device having:
- a handle;
- a shaft coupled to the handle of the insertion device;
- and
- a port positioned on the handle of the insertion device and in fluid communication with a working channel of the shaft, the port comprising a female luer port;
- a medical device having:
- a control member terminating in an end effector;
- a handle having a plurality of circumferential slots along the length of the handle, wherein at least a portion of the handle of the medical device is deflectable relative to another portion of the handle of the medical device via one or more of the plurality of circumferential slots;
- and
- a plunger moveable along a longitudinal axis of the handle of the medical device between a first position and a second position;
- wherein in the first position, the end effector is positioned within the shaft, and wherein in the second position, the end effector is positioned distally of the shaft.
A medical system, comprising:
- an insertion device having:
- a handle;
- a shaft coupled to the handle of the insertion device;
- a clip positioned along a proximal end of the handle of the insertion device, the clip including a plurality of arms extending from the handle of the insertion device;
- and
- a port positioned on the handle of the insertion device in fluid communication with a working channel of the shaft, the port comprising a female luer port;
- a medical device having:
- a control member terminating in an end effector;
- a bendable handle including at least one circumferential slot, the bendable handle being positioned within a receiving space between the plurality of arms of the clip, wherein the bendable handle is bendable via the least one circumferential slot;
- and
- a plunger moveable along a longitudinal axis of the handle of the medical device between a first position and a second position;
- wherein in the first position, the end effector is positioned within the shaft, and wherein in the second position, the end effector is positioned distally of the shaft.
A medical system, comprising:
- an insertion device having:
- a handle;
- a shaft coupled to the handle of the insertion device;
- and
- a clip positioned along a proximal end of the handle of the insertion device, the clip including a plurality of arms extending from the handle of the insertion device, the plurality of arms being selectively movable toward or away from each other;
- and
- a medical device having:
- a control member terminating in an end effector;
- a handle positioned within a receiving space between the plurality of arms of the clip, wherein at least a portion of the handle of the medical device is deflectable relative to another portion of the handle of the medical device via one or more of a plurality of circumferential slots of the handle;
- and
- a plunger moveable along a longitudinal axis of the handle of the medical device between a first position and a second position;
- wherein in the first position, the end effector is positioned within the shaft, and wherein in the second position, the end effector is positioned distally of the shaft;
- and
- wherein the handle of the medical device is arranged relative to the handle of the insertion device such that the medical system is configured for one-handed operation.
