Abstract

A medical device handle may include an elongated handle housing, a rotatable collar disposed about the handle housing, a rotatable control knob disposed about the collar, and a slidable door disposed about the collar. The door may be rotatably locked to the collar to prevent relative rotation between the door and the collar.

an elongated handle housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end;

a rotatable collar disposed about the proximal end of the handle housing;

a rotatable control knob disposed about the rotatable collar; and

a slidable door disposed about a distal portion of the rotatable collar.
