Abstract:
1. A non-slip tip system comprising a body, wherein the body: comprises a proximal end and a distal end and defines a cavity along a central longitudinal axis that opens to a proximal end-opening and a distal-end opening; comprises a first portion at the proximal end and a second portion at the distal end, wherein the cavity in the first portion comprises a first cross-sectional profile and the cavity in the second portion comprises a second cross-sectional profile, and wherein the second cross-sectional profile extends further from the central longitudinal axis than the first cross-sectional profile; comprises gripping protrusions extending distally from the distal end; and defines a plurality of apertures in the first portion, wherein the plurality of apertures comprises a first aperture disposed a first distance from the distal end and a second aperture disposed a second distance from the distal end; and includes a detent track in an inner surface of the first portion of the body configured to guide an outwardly biased detent stop between the first and second apertures, wherein the detent track comprises a linear indentation in the inner surface extending between the first aperture and the second aperture, wherein the linear indentation comprises a width defined orthogonally with respect to the central longitudinal axis and tangentially with respect to the inner surface, wherein each of the plurality of apertures comprises a width defined orthogonally with respect to the central longitudinal axis and tangentially with respect to the inner surface, and wherein the width of the linear indentation is narrower than the width of each of the plurality of apertures.
