Embodiment Construction

[0028] Examples of the present disclosure include devices and methods that facilitate and improve the efficacy, efficiency, and safety of dispensing medical devices during medical procedures. For example, aspects of the present disclosure may provide a user (eg, a physician, medical technician, or other healthcare provider) with the ability to more easily dispense and retract a guidewire or fiber for use within a patient and / or through an insertion device deliver. Some aspects of the present disclosure may be used in performing endoscopic, hysteroscopic, or ureteroscopic procedures.

[0029] Reference will now be made in detail to the examples of the present disclosure described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0030] The terms "proximal" and "distal" are used herein to refer to the relative positions of components of an exemplary medica...

Abstract

A medical device may include: a spool member including a channel for receiving or storing a coiled member; and a handle member. A handle element may be coupled to the spool element and include a lumen at least partially opening into the channel. The medical device may also include an introducer element coupled to the handle, and relative rotation of the spool element and the handle element may dispense or retract the coiled element from the introducer.

Description

technical field [0001] Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to apparatus and methods for use in medical procedures. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for dispensing or retracting medical devices. Background technique [0002] Guidewires and fibers are used in a wide variety of medical procedures, including urology, neurology, ENT, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, cardiology, and gynecology. In general, a user can control and deliver a guidewire or fiber from the packaged helical loop, but the guidewire and fiber can be difficult to maneuver. For example, a hydrophilic guidewire can be hydrated and made of polyethylene so that the guidewire can be released from the wrapped loop, but as a result, the guidewire can be slippery and difficult to control. Optical fibers can be sensitive or fragile. Optical fibers are often packaged such that the entire optical fiber must be removed from the packaging prior to use, w...
