Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for a medical device are disclosed. The medical device may include a handle configured to connect with an electrical source. The handle may include a hub, a wire, and an actuator. The hub may include a fluid port, an electrical connector, and an electrically conductive tube coupled with the electrical connector. The wire may be electrically coupled to the electrically conductive tube. The actuator may be coupled with the hub and the wire. The actuator may be configured to adjust relative to the hub and in response, adjust the wire relative to the electrically conductive tube.
Claims20
A handle for a medical device configured to connect with an electrical source, the handle comprising:
- a hub, the hub comprising:
- a fluid port;
- an electrical connector;
- and
- an electrically conductive tube coupled with the electrical connector;
- a wire electrically coupled to the electrically conductive tube;
- and
- an actuator coupled with the hub and the wire, wherein the actuator is configured to adjust relative to the hub and in response, adjust the wire relative to the electrically conductive tube.
A medical device comprising:
- a hub having a proximal end and a distal end, the hub comprising:
- a fluid port;
- and
- an electrical connector;
- an elongate shaft extending in a distal direction from the hub;
- an end effector in electrical communication with the electrical connector and configured to be positioned proximate a distal end of the elongate shaft;
- and
- an actuator coupled with the proximal end of the hub, the actuator is configured to adjust relative to the hub and in response, adjust the end effector, and
- wherein the actuator and the end effector are configured to longitudinally and rotationally adjust relative to the hub.
A method of assembling a medical device, the method comprising:
- securing an electrically conductive tube in a hub having a fluid port;
- electrically coupling an electrical connector with the electrically conductive tube;
- and
- coupling an actuator with the hub, and
- wherein the actuator coupled with the hub is configured to adjust relative to the hub.
