Abstract
Medical devices useful to perform medical procedures are described. The medical device may include a handle with a hub and a port. The hub may define a lumen and include a proximal opening configured to receive a medical instrument. The port may be configured to couple to a source of suction, and the port may be in fluid communication with the lumen of the hub. The outer surface of the hub or the port may include a mounting interface. The handle may also include a grip accessory configured to releasably couple to the mounting interface. The grip accessory may include an opening or groove configured to receive a portion of a user's hand when the user grips the handle.
