Abstract
An operating handle for the relative sliding of a tubular sheath and a push-stem. The handle includes a hollow body with two opposite ends between which the stem extends axially. A carriage is detachably connected to the sheath and is movable within the body along an axial direction, and a control device is provided for controlling movement of the carriage. The control device includes a pivoting lever which causes the relative axial displacement of the sheath and stem. The invention finds particular application in the medical field for the implantation of medical devices such as blood filters.
