Abstract
A guidewire manipulation device includes a housing sized to be supported by a hand of a user, the housing having a distal end and a proximal end; a rotation member rotationally disposed within the housing; a locking assembly coupled to the rotation member, the locking assembly configured to selectively transfer rotational movement of the rotation member to rotational movement of a guidewire; a handle coupled to the housing and configured to be operable by the hand of the user; and a drive system coupled to the handle, the drive system configured to apply alternating clockwise motion and counter-clockwise motion to the guidewire by causing the rotation member to rotate.
