Medical device handle
First Claim
1. A medical device handle for percutaneous delivery of a medical implant from a tubular member extending distally from the medical device handle, comprising:
- a handle housing having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the handle housing to a distal end of the handle housing, the handle housing including a cavity disposed within the handle housing; and
a carriage assembly disposed within the cavity and operatively connected to the tubular member and the carriage assembly is further configured to be operatively connected to the medical implant, the carriage assembly being longitudinally movable between a distal position and a proximal position by rotation of a control knob with respect to the handle housing, the control knob being disposed around the proximal end of the handle housing;
wherein the carriage assembly includes a carriage member, a first sliding member, a second sliding member, and a lock configured to releasably fix the first sliding member and the second sliding member relative to the carriage member;
wherein the lock is rotatable relative to the handle housing.

Abstract
A medical device handle may include a handle housing including a cavity disposed within the handle housing. The medical device handle may include a carriage assembly disposed within the cavity and operatively connected to the tubular member and the medical implant, the carriage assembly being longitudinally movable between a distal position and a proximal position by rotation of a control knob with respect to the handle housing, the control knob being disposed around a proximal end of the handle housing. The carriage assembly may include a carriage member, a first sliding member, a second sliding member, and a locking element configured to releasably fix the first sliding member and the second sliding member relative to the carriage member. The locking element may be rotatable relative to the handle housing.

13. A medical device handle for percutaneous delivery of a medical implant from a tubular member extending distally from the medical device handle, comprising:
-
a handle housing having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the handle housing to a distal end of the handle housing, the handle housing including a cavity disposed within the handle housing; a carriage assembly disposed within the cavity and operatively connected to the tubular member and the carriage assembly is further configured to be operatively connected to the medical implant, the carriage assembly being longitudinally movable between a distal position and a proximal position by rotation of a control knob with respect to the handle housing, the control knob being disposed around the proximal end of the handle housing; wherein the carriage assembly includes a carriage member, a first sliding member, a second sliding member, and a lock configured to releasably fix the first sliding member and the second sliding member relative to the carriage member, the lock being rotatable relative to the handle housing; and a tubular collar member disposed around a proximal portion of the handle housing, the tubular collar member being rotatable about the handle housing; wherein the handle housing includes a button mechanism configured to engage the tubular collar member in a first orientation of the tubular collar member relative to the handle housing when the first sliding member and the second sliding member are fixed to the carriage member by the lock, and the button mechanism is configured to engage the tubular collar member in a second orientation of the tubular collar member relative to the handle housing when the first sliding member and the second sliding member are not fixed to the carriage member by the lock. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A medical device system, comprising:
-
a handle housing including a longitudinally movable carriage assembly disposed therein, the carriage assembly including a carriage member, a first slider member, a second slider member, and a lock releasably fixing the first slider member and the second slider member relative to the carriage member, the lock being rotatable with respect to the handle housing; a tubular member extending distally from the handle housing; a replacement heart valve deployable from a distal end of the tubular member; at least one actuator member extending distally from the carriage assembly through the tubular member to the replacement heart valve, the at least one actuator member being releasably attached to the replacement heart valve; and a tubular collar member disposed around and rotatable with respect to the handle housing, the tubular collar member being configured to release the first sliding member and the second sliding member from the carriage member upon rotation about the handle housing. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
