The proximal end includes an eyelet () that is in fluid communication with the lumen. A handle is attached to the distal end of the shaft and includes a first grip member () and a second grip member () configured so that the first grip member pivots relative to the second grip member. A sleeve () defines an interior chamber (), and the shaft is positioned within the interior chamber. The sleeve is sealed to the first grip member so that when the first grip member is pivoted, the sleeve is torn open.
