Abstract:
A hand-held, hand-operated apparatus for rotating, or spinning, rotatably oscillating and/or inducing back and forth longitudinal movement in a device, such as an elongated medical device. A drive shaft of the hand-held, hand-operated rotational drive apparatus includes a ratcheting mechanism capable of enabling oscillating (repeated forward and reverse) rotation of a device that has been coupled thereto when there is little or no resistance on the rotated device, and of enabling an actuator to return to a position that will enable further forward, or driving, rotation of the drive shaft and the rotated device when resistance on the rotated device prevents the rotated device and the drive shaft from rotating in a reverse direction.

Claim (Index 4):
The rooter of  claim 3 , wherein each tooth of the cooperating teeth includes:\n a drive surface oriented radially to hold the proximal member of the actuator rotationally stationary when the distal member forces the proximal member proximally along the rotatable element to cause the rotatable element to rotate in the first direction; and a slip surface tapering outward from a base of the drive surface to enable the teeth of the proximal member to disengage the teeth of the distal member to enable rotation of the proximal member about the rotatable element and movement of the proximal member distally when the rotatable element resists rotation in the second direction.
