Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a medical device. The medical device can include a body having a first extension and having a second extension. The first extension can have a first adapter and the second extension can have a second adapter. The first adapter and the second adapter can couple with at least one tensioning assembly to cause the body to pivot from a first position to a second position.
Claims20
A medical device, comprising:
- a body having a first extension and having a second extension, the first extension having a first adapter and the second extension having a second adapter;
- the first adapter includes a first protrusion having a first opening and the second adapter includes a second protrusion having a second opening;
- the first opening of the first adapter to couple with a first line of a tensioning assembly and the second opening of the second adapter to couple with a second line of the tensioning assembly to couple the first adapter and the second adapter with the tensioning assembly;
- and
- the tensioning assembly to cause the body to pivot by the first adapter and the second adapter from a first position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a first position axis, to a second position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a second position axis that is at an angle relative to the first position axis.

A method, comprising:
- providing a medical device including a body having a first extension and having a second extension, the first extension having a first adapter, the second extension having a second adapter, the first adapter including a first protrusion having a first opening and the second adapter including a second protrusion having a second opening;
- receiving, by the first opening of the first adapter, a portion of a first line of a tensioning assembly to couple the first adapter with the tensioning assembly;
- receiving, by the second opening of the second adapter, a portion of a second line of the tensioning assembly to couple the second adapter with the tensioning assembly;
- and
- applying a force to the tensioning assembly to cause the body to pivot from a first position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a first position axis, to a second position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a second position axis that is at an angle relative to the first position axis.
2 more elements
An adapter, comprising:
- a protrusion configured to couple with a body of a medical device;
- an opening configured to receive a line of a tensioning assembly to couple with the tensioning assembly;
- and
- the adapter to cause the body to pivot between a first position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a first position axis, to a second position, in which the body is substantially parallel with a second position axis that is at an angle relative to the first position axis, responsive to a force applied to the tensioning assembly.
