  • Patent number: 11779744
    Abstract: A hemostasis valve assembly includes a hollow body delimiting an inner passage for inserting a medical material, the inner passage extending between a proximal opening and a distal opening of the hollow body, a distal seal arranged at the distal opening, a proximal seal arranged at the proximal opening, a spacer element arranged between the distal seal and the proximal seal, and an end cap. The distal seal is an elastic valve that is sealed when idle. The end cap has a fixing element engaging a support element of the hollow body to fix a stacked assembly including the distal seal, the spacer element, and the proximal seal inside the hollow body.

  • Publication number: 20210060297
    Abstract: A medical device handle for articulation of a catheter includes a housing having a cylindrical shape, a control element at least partly encompassed by the housing, the control element having a pair of cross-cut threads cross-cut in opposing directions around a longitudinal axis of the medical device handle, and a pair of pull wire mounting elements each having a mounting thread engaging with one of the cross-cut threads. The control element is mechanically coupled to each of the pull wire mounting elements via the cross-cut threads and the mounting threads without any additional gear in between. A rotation of the control element around the longitudinal axis moves the pull wire mounting elements in opposite linear directions along the longitudinal axis.
