Abstract
A handle assembly for a medical device instrument including a handle having a shaft including a proximal end, and a distal end. The handle further includes a hand grip having first and second ends affixed to the proximal end of the shaft and a longitudinal axis extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. At least one of the first and second ends of the hand grip includes a ring having a longitudinal through axis spaced from and substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The ring is sized sufficiently to receive a user's finger to enable the handle to be rotated. The handle assembly further includes a quick connect at the distal end of the shaft for releasably connecting the handle assembly to a shaft of the medical device instrument.
Claims18
A handle assembly for a medical device instrument comprising:
- a handle including:
- a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end,
- a hand grip having first and second ends affixed to the proximal end of the shaft and a longitudinal axis extending substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the shaft, and
- at least one of the first and second ends of the hand grip including a ring having a longitudinal through axis spaced from and substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, and wherein the ring is sized sufficiently to receive a finger;
- and
- a quick connect at the distal end of the shaft for releasably connecting the handle assembly to a shaft of a medical device instrument.
A handle assembly for a medical device instrument comprising:
- a handle including:
- a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis,
- a hand grip affixed to the proximal end of the shaft, the hand grip having:
- a longitudinal axis extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft,
- a first end including a ring having a through hole sized sufficiently to receive a finger and a through axis spaced from and substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, and
- a second end opposite the first end;
- and
- a quick connect at the distal end of the shaft for releasably connecting the handle assembly to a medical device instrument, the quick connect including:
- a housing having:
- a central axial elongated opening for receiving a shaft of the medical device instrument,
- a second axial opening for receiving a first locking element,
- a third axial opening for receiving a second locking element, and
- a lateral recess having a laterally facing opening.
A handle assembly for a medical device instrument comprising:
- a handle including:
- a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis,
- a hand grip affixed to the proximal end of the shaft, the hand grip having:
- a longitudinal axis extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft,
- a first end including a ring having a through hole and a through axis spaced from and substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, wherein the ring is sized sufficiently to receive a finger, and has an overall diameter larger than an overall thickness of the hand grip, and
- a second end opposite the first end;
- and
- a quick connect at the distal end of the shaft for releasably connecting the handle assembly to a medical device instrument.
