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;
- 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 handle positioned within a receiving space between the plurality of arms of the clip;
- 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 method for treating a patient, comprising:
- positioning an insertion device relative to a location within a patient;
- delivering a medical device through a female luer port and working channel of insertion device;
- clipping a handle of the medical device to a handle of the insertion device via a clip on the handle of the insertion device;
- simultaneously holding the handle of the insertion device and the handle of the medical device with a single hand;
- and
- axially advancing a plunger of the medical device with a digit of the hand and extending an end effector of the medical device distally of the working channel of the insertion device.
