Publication number: 20220369901Abstract: A medical device includes a handle including an axle, a device shaft extending from the handle to a distal end, and a control device. The control device is coupled to the handle, and the control device includes a knob. The knob is rotatable relative to the handle. The control device also includes a control shaft extending from the knob, at least one spring clutch including two legs, and a spool. The spool is rotatable relative to the axle. The control device also includes one or more wires coupled to the spool. Rotation of the knob is configured to rotate the control shaft, causing the at least one spring clutch to loosen, the spool to rotate, and the one or more wires to move.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Sean POWELL, Bryan DILLON, Jan WEBER, Martyn FOLAN
