Patent attributes
A dual function catheter handle for simultaneous movement of two control wires has a handle housing having a core with a longitudinal slot mounted in its interior. A first moveable member is provided with a proximal end mounted in the interior of the handle housing and a distal end extending outside the handle housing. The first moveable member is longitudinally moveable relative to the handle housing. A second moveable member is mounted in the longitudinal slot of the core and is longitudinally moveable relative to the core and handle housing. A rotatable member is mounted on the handle housing and has a threaded inner surface that mates with a threaded surface of the second moveable member so that rotation of the rotatable member causes longitudinal movement of the second moveable member. The first and second moveable members can simultaneously move proximally relative to the handle housing.
