An embodiment of a medical device includes a proximal handle, a distal end effector, an elongate member connecting the end effector to the handle, and a sheath enclosing at least a portion of the elongate member. The handle may include a first mechanism coupled to one of the sheath and the elongate member to move the sheath relative to the elongate member, a second mechanism coupled to the elongate member to rotate the elongate member relative to the handle, and a locking mechanism coupled to the first mechanism to hold the first mechanism in a default position. Embodiments also include methods of positioning the medical device to perform a medical procedure.

Multi-functional medical device

Pressure gauges used to indicate the pressure of the air being supplied to a patient during resuscitation should be able to indicate the pressure quickly and simply. In the present disclosure, a medical apparatus includes an apparatus body defining a fluid cavity that is fluidly connected to an expandable pressure chamber of a pressure gauge. The pressure chamber, a battery and at least one pressure indicator are, at least partially, positioned within a gauge body of the pressure gauge. An electrical conductor is moveable with the expandable pressure chamber among a plurality of positions and with respect to the gauge body. When the electrical conductor is in a first position, the battery is out of electrical connection with the at least one pressure indicator. When in the second position, the electrical conductor electrically connects the battery with the at least one pressure indicator.
