Zusammenfassung:One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a selectively connectable medical device. The medical device may include a first flexible wire having an orifice on a distal end thereof and a flexible sleeve surrounding the first flexible wire. The flexible sleeve may be movable along the first flexible wire to a first orientation exposing the orifice, and a second orientation extending over the orifice. The device may further include a second flexible wire having a graspable region on an end thereof. The flexible sleeve may be configured, when the graspable region is threaded through the orifice, to be moved to the second orientation causing the graspable region to bend about an edge of the orifice, and to simultaneously cover the orifice and at least a portion of the graspable region, thereby locking the second wire to the first wire.
