Abstract
Exemplary medical devices may include a snare device. The snare device may include a first leg having a proximalmost end and a second leg having a proximalmost end. The first leg and the second leg may form a distal loop. The proximalmost end of first leg may be independently moveable relative to the proximalmost end of the second leg.
Claims20
A medical device, comprising:
- a handle portion;
- a rotatable body mounted to the handle portion, wherein a center of the rotatable body is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the handle portion, wherein the rotatable body includes two finger holes, wherein a first of the two finger holes is positioned on a first side of the longitudinal axis, and wherein a second of the two finger holes is positioned on a second, opposite side of the longitudinal axis;
- and
- only one distal loop of a continuous wire, the only one loop having:
- a first leg having a proximal end coupled to the rotatable body;
- and
- a second leg having a proximal end coupled to the rotatable body, wherein rotation of the rotatable body causes the proximal end of the first leg to move distally and, simultaneously, the proximal end of the second leg to move proximally, wherein the first of the two finger holes is between the proximal end of the first leg and the longitudinal axis, and wherein the second of the two finger holes is between the proximal end of the second leg and the longitudinal axis.

A medical device, comprising:
- a body that is configured to be rotatably and longitudinally movable relative to a handle portion of the device, the body having two finger holes;
- and
- only one distal loop, the only one loop lying in a plane and having:
- a first leg having a proximal end coupled to the body;
- and
- a second leg having a proximal end coupled to the body, wherein the first leg and the second leg form the distal loop, wherein the proximal end of the first leg and the proximal end of the second leg are proximal to each of the two finger holes of the body, wherein a first of the two finger holes is between the proximal end of the first leg and the longitudinal axis of the handle portion, and wherein a second of the two finger holes is between the proximal end of the second leg and the longitudinal axis.
3 more elements
A medical device, comprising:
- a handle portion;
- a body mounted in a slot of the handle portion such that the body is configured to be rotatably and longitudinally movable relative to the handle portion, wherein a center of the body is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the slot, wherein the body includes two finger holes, wherein a first of the two finger holes is positioned on a first side of the longitudinal axis, and wherein a second of the two finger holes is positioned on a second, opposite side of the longitudinal axis;
- and
- only one distal loop of a continuous wire, the only one loop having:
- a first leg having a proximal end coupled to the body, wherein the proximal end of the first leg is proximal to the first of the two finger holes, and wherein the first of the two finger holes is between the proximal end of the first leg and the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second leg having a proximal end coupled to the body, wherein the proximal end of the second leg is proximal to the second of the two finger holes, and wherein the second of the two finger holes is between the proximal end of the second leg and the longitudinal axis.
