Abstract:
A delivery device 100 includes a catheter assembly 120 and an operating handle 130. The operating handle 130 may include a nose 131 affixed to the catheter assembly 120, an axial shaft 180, a base 132 translationally fixed to a proximal end of the axial shaft, a screw 160 having external threads and a non-circular lumen 161, the axial shaft extending through the non-circular lumen, a proximal end 171 of a pull wire 170 being affixed to the screw, a knob 150 having internal threads engaged with the external threads of the screw, and a collar 140 extending at least partially around the axial shaft. When the collar 140 is in a proximal position, rotation of the knob 150 may deflect the distal end 121 of the catheter assembly 120. When the collar is in a distal position, rotation of the knob 150 may rotate the catheter assembly 120.
