Abstract
A tool for use by a surgeon for coupling to a working channel port and for operating a sheath and wire including a basket device for capturing an object to be removed from a body. The tool includes a controller adapted to be coupled to the sheath and the wire for selectively controlling the position of the wire with respect to the sheath and for operating the basket device between a first, closed position and a second, open position, the controller including a base portion having a wire actuation unit including a movable plunger for coupling with the wire and for moving the wire with respect to the sheath; and a sheath control unit removably coupled to the wire actuation unit for independently controlling the position of the sheath. The controller is configured to longitudinally move the wire and operate the basket device to selectively open and close the basket.
