Abstract
A drive handle and system for delivering an implant are disclosed. The drive handle includes a manual control unit, an electrical control unit and a transmission mechanism. The manual control unit is connected to the transmission mechanism to actuate the transmission mechanism to drive a delivery catheter for delivering the implant. The electrical control unit is connected to the transmission mechanism to actuate the transmission mechanism to drive the delivery catheter. The drive handle is switchable between a manual drive/control mode and an electrical drive/control mode to drive the delivery catheter to deliver the implant. The operation is simple, and the operating physician can take full advantage of the two modes to perform the surgical procedure based on his/her own operational preferences. This can result in higher surgical accuracy. Further, by providing these two modes, the apparatus has an increased the security and a reduced surgical risk.
