1. A medical device, comprising:
- a handle housing having a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and an interior space therein;
wherein the handle housing includes a side wall defining the interior space and extending from the proximal end to the distal end, a proximal aperture extending through the side wall of the handle housing to the interior space, and a distal aperture extending through the side wall of the handle housing to the interior space;
an elongated outer sheath having a lumen therein extending distally from the distal end of the handle housing;
an elongated inner member extending distally through the distal end of the handle housing within the lumen of the elongated outer sheath;
a proximal flush port disposed within the interior space and in fluid communication with the elongated inner member; and
a distal flush port disposed within the interior space and in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongated outer sheath.

Abstract
A medical device may include a handle housing having a side wall defining an interior space and proximal and distal apertures extending through the side wall, an elongated outer sheath, an elongated inner member, a proximal flush port disposed within the interior space and in fluid communication with the elongated inner member, and a distal flush port disposed within the interior space and in fluid communication with the elongated outer sheath. A control knob may be rotated to move the distal flush port within the interior space.

15. A medical device, comprising:
-
a handle housing having a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and an interior space therein; wherein the handle housing includes a side wall defining the interior space and extending from the proximal end to the distal end, a proximal aperture extending through the side wall of the handle housing to the interior space, and a distal aperture extending through the side wall of the handle housing to the interior space; an elongated outer sheath having a lumen therein extending distally from the distal end of the handle housing; an elongated inner member extending distally through the distal end of the handle housing within the lumen of the elongated outer sheath; a proximal flush port fixedly disposed within the interior space and in fluid communication with the elongated inner member; a distal flush port movably disposed within the interior space and in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongated outer sheath; and a control knob at the proximal end of the handle housing; wherein rotating the control knob relative to the handle housing moves the distal flush port longitudinally within the interior space. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A medical device, comprising:
-
a handle housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end; wherein the handle housing includes a side wall having laterally-facing proximal and distal apertures extending therethrough; an elongated outer sheath having a lumen therein extending distally from the distal end of the handle housing; an elongated inner member extending distally through the distal end of the handle housing within the lumen of the elongated outer sheath; a laterally-facing proximal flush port fixedly disposed within the handle housing and in fluid communication with the elongated inner member; a laterally-facing distal flush port movably disposed within the handle housing and in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongated outer sheath; and a control knob disposed about the proximal end of the handle housing; wherein rotating the control knob about the handle housing moves the distal flush port relative to the handle housing in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.
