Abstract:
Certain aspects relate to a handle mechanism that permits control of linear motion of a shaft secured within the handle via two different interfaces for actuating the linear motion. In some aspects, a rotational interface can allow for fine control linear positioning of the shaft, for example by allowing a user to rotate the rotational interface to extend or retract the shaft. In some aspects, a plunging interface can enable a faster linear motion, for example by implementing a biasing mechanism that releases to drive rapid linear motion.

Claim (Index 4):
The handle of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the second helical cam interface engaging the first helical cam interface translates proximal retraction of the plunger grip into proximal motion of the proximal handle member along the longitudinal axis of the device, and wherein the linear motion of the proximal handle member is configured to drive proximal retraction of the instrument via the elongate channel; and the biasing element is positioned to compress as the plunger grip is retracted proximally such that, upon release of the plunger grip, a bias of the biasing element drives distal linear motion of the proximal handle member along the longitudinal axis of the device, and wherein the linear motion of the proximal handle member is configured to drive distal extension of the instrument.
