Abstract
A catheter handle includes a handle body having a proximal end and a distal end and a passage extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The handle body comprises a plurality of shell parts that can be separated to access an interior of the handle body. The handle body further includes a connector mounted at the proximal end of the handle body and a strain relief arranged at the distal end, the strain relief and the connector being removably arranged relative to the handle body.
Claims20
A catheter handle, comprising:
- a handle body having a proximal end and a distal end and a passage extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the handle body comprising a plurality of shell parts that can be at least partially separated from each other to access an interior of the handle body;
- a connector mounted at the proximal end of the handle body;
- a strain relief arranged distally of the body, the strain relief and the connector being removably arranged relative to the handle body;
- a catheter sheath projecting distally through the strain relief, the catheter sheath having a distal end and a proximal end;
- and
- a multi-component stylet having a proximal end mounted in the passage of the handle body, the stylet having a distal part preformed into a non-rectilinear shape, wherein the non-rectilinear shape of the preformed distal part of the stylet is imparted to the catheter sheath, and a distal end of the distal part of the stylet is movable within the distal end of the catheter sheath;
- wherein the catheter sheath is extendable distally over the distal end of the stylet.

- and
- a catheter sheath projecting distally through the strain relief, the catheter sheath having a distal end and a proximal end, the catheter sheath defining a lumen in which the stylet is received so that the shape of the preformed distal part of the stylet is imparted to a distal part of the catheter sheath, wherein a distal end of the distal part of the stylet is movable within the distal end of the catheter sheath and the catheter sheath is extendable distally over the distal end of the stylet.
