Publication number: 20240016492Abstract: A fastener delivery tool may comprise a sheath assembly having at least one position retention member proximate a distal end of the sheath assembly, and a handle assembly coupled to a proximal end of the sheath assembly, the handle assembly comprising a housing, a trigger handle, and an insert connector. An external force applied to the trigger handle may cause displacement of the trigger handle relative to a rest position, and displacement of the trigger handle from the rest position within a first displacement range may impart a first amount of force on the insert connector relative to the applied external force and displacement of the trigger handle from the rest position within a second displacement range may impart a second amount of force on the insert connector relative to the applied external force, with the first amount of force being greater than the second amount of force.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Rotation Medical, Inc.Inventors: Thomas A. Westling, Nathaniel Zenz-Olson, Nathaniel Tran
