Abstract
A handle for a medical device is provided. The handle includes an inner handle member and first and second outer handle members slideably disposed on the inner handle member. An elongate sheath is attached to the inner handle member and extends axially beyond a distal end of the inner handle member and a stylet is attached to one of the outer handle members and disposed in a lumen of the sheath. Slideable movement of the outer handle members relative to the inner handle members controls relative positioning of various components of the handle.
