SCOPE-MOUNTED INOD HANDLE

The present invention relates to a handle for a medical device, comprising: a distal portion (102) extending longitudinally from a proximal end (116) to a distal end (118) and including a distal channel (120) extending therethrough, the distal end (118) of the distal portion (102) including a connector (124) configured to connect to a proximal end of an endoscope; a central portion (104) with a proximal end (128) and a distal end (130), the central portion (104) comprising a central channel (132) with a taper and an introducer port (112), the central channel (132) extending from the proximal end (128) of the central portion (104) to the distal end (130) of the central portion (104) with the taper located at a distal end (134) of the central channel (132), wherein an opening (138) of the introducer port (112) extends toward the proximal end (128) of the central portion (104) so that an auxiliary tool may be inserted through the opening (138) of the introducer port (112) into the central channel (132); and a proximal portion (106) with a proximal end (152) and a distal end (154), the proximal portion (106) being slidably connected to the proximal end (128) of the central portion (104), the proximal portion (106) comprising a proximal channel (156) and extending from the proximal end (152) of the proximal portion (106) to the distal end (154) of the proximal portion (106).
