ABSTRACT:
A control handle for a steerable stylet or guidewire which is specifically adapted to facilitate one-hand operation by providing a rear gripping portion adapted to be held in the palm of the operator's hand and gripped by the last three fingers, and having a rotatable control sleeve for actuation by the thumb and forefinger of the operator's hand, the control sleeve having internal actuating threads meshing with the threads of a slide which is fixed to the proximal end of a stylet control wire for permitting adjustment of the curvature of the distal tip portion of the stylet. The stylet, control wire and slide are removable from the rest of the handle assembly, to allow for replacement or interchange of stylets.
