Abstract
The present disclosure provides a medical device (10) comprising a friction member (30, 48) configured to assist in controlling and/or limiting unintentional and/or undesirable movement between two releasably secured components (18, 28) of the medical device. The releasably secured components may be part of a resistance assembly for holding a medical device actuator (20) in a particular position and/or to improve the ease of which the activator moves into one position versus another position.
