Abstract
The invention relates to an operating handle (--) for manipulating a catheter tip (--) of a catheter delivery system. The operating handle (--) comprises a hand grip () designed to be held by a user, and a manipulating part () axially aligned with the hand grip (). The manipulating part () is rotatable relatively to the hand grip () about a longitudinal axis (L) defined by the operating handle (--). The operating handle (--) comprises at least one sliding member () operatively linked with the manipulating part () by means of a cam mechanism () such that, upon rotation of the manipulating part () relative to the hand grip (), the at least one sliding member () moves axially in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L).
