Abstract: A tissue-removing catheter includes an elongate body, a handle, a motor, a tissue-removing element, and a slide assembly. The slide assembly is at least partially received in the handle and includes a carriage coupling a roller bearing and a track coupled to the handle. The carriage supports the motor. The track supports the roller bearing moving linearly along the track to enable the carriage and motor to selectively translate within the handle. At least one bearing may include a first rail bearing moveable within a first rail plane and a second rail bearing moveable within a second rail plane being angularly offset or generally transverse to the first rail plane. The track may include a rail having an interior surface defining an interior space extending along a length of the rail while at least one bearing engages the interior surface within the interior space.

Abstract: A tissue-removing catheter includes a slide assembly which moves linearly to impart linear movement of a motor. The slide assembly includes a knob accessible outside a handle to enable the linear movement by a user. The slide lock may selectively lock the slide assembly to inhibit linear movement of the slide assembly, and selectively unlock the slide assembly to enable linear movement of the slide assembly. The knob is rotatable relative to the handle for rotating the rotatable cam such that the slide lock actuates for selectively locking and unlocking the slide assembly. The knob may rotate between first and second angular positions for unlocking and locking the slide assembly with a fixed angle of rotation to inhibit the knob from rotating beyond the second angular position in a first direction. A detent mechanism may inhibit or enable linear movement of the slide assembly.
