ABSTRACT:
A replaceable handle (10) for side loading the proximal end of a medical device (41) therein, which is typically inserted with the operating lumen of an endoscope. The replaceable handle is easily removed from the proximal end of the medical device for removing an endoscope over the medical device. with the endoscope removed, the replaceable handle can side-load the proximal end of the device for added manipulation of the distal end such as in removing a stone from the kidney or ureter leading therefrom. the replaceable handle includes an outer elongated housing (11) with passage (13) extending longitudinally therein with external communication (14) therealong. The outer housing also includes a first attachment mechanism (15) disposed about the distal end for receipt of a first medical device member therein. The handle also includes an inner elongated member (17) positioned in the housing passage and extending proximally therefrom. A second attachment mechanism (19) is disposed in the inner elongated member and communicates with the housing passage for receipt therein of a second medical device member (20) adjacent the first member. The inner member also includes a positioning channel (18) in which a housing projection is positionable therein so as to control longitudinal and rotational movement of the inner member with respect to the outer housing. The inner elongated member is also rotatable for easily side-loading the proximal end of the medical device.
