Abstract
A handle grip control device configured to be removably secured to a handle of an instrument includes a body having a first outer surface and an inner surface, and a protrusion extending radially outwardly from a respective proximal end at the first outer surface of the body to a distal tip. The inner surface defines a cavity configured to receive handles of instruments, and the protrusion can define a second outer surface that includes a first and second sloped surfaces opposite to a bottom surface. A slope of the first sloped surface defines a first angle relative to a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body, and a slope of the second sloped surface defines a second angle relative to the plane that is greater than the first angle.

A handle grip control device (“handle device”) configured to be removably secured to a handle of an instrument, the handle device comprising:
- a body having a first outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a cavity configured to receive handles of instruments;
- and
- a protrusion extending radially outwardly from a respective proximal end at the first outer surface of the body to a distal tip,
- wherein the protrusion defines a second outer surface including a first sloped surface, a second sloped surface, and a bottom surface opposite to the first and second sloped surfaces,
- wherein the first sloped surface extends over a first length from the proximal end and the second sloped surface extends over a second length from an end of the first length to the distal tip,
- wherein a slope of the first sloped surface defines a first angle relative to a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body, and
- wherein a slope of the second sloped surface defines a second angle relative to the plane that is greater than the first angle.
A handle grip control device (“handle device”) configured to be removably secured to a handle of an instrument, the handle device comprising:
- a body having a first outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a cavity configured to receive handles of instruments;
- a protrusion extending radially outwardly from a respective proximal end at the first outer surface of the body to a distal tip;
- and
- an extended collar that extends vertically from the body along a longitudinal axis of the body,
- wherein the body extends a first distance from a bottom end of the handle device to a transition defined between the body and the extended collar,
- wherein a second distance between a vertical position of the distal tip along the longitudinal axis of the body and a position of the bottom end is greater than or equal to a value of the first distance, and
- wherein the extended collar extends from the transition to a top end of the handle device a third distance that is at least twice the second distance.

- and
- a protrusion extending radially outwardly from a respective proximal end at the first outer surface of the body to a distal tip,
- wherein the body extends from a first end to a second over a first distance along a longitudinal axis of the body,
- wherein a second distance that is at least equal to the first distance, is defined between:
- a vertical position of the distal tip along the longitudinal axis, and
- a position of the second end along the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the protrusion defines a second outer surface that includes a bottom surface and at least one curved surface that is:
- opposite to the bottom surface, and
- disposed between the proximal end and the distal tip, and
- wherein the body and the protrusion define a monolithic structure formed from an elastic material.
