Summary:A medical device and method of using same are provided. The medical device includes a handle detachably connected to a shaft having a proximal portion attached to a distal portion through an articulation region. The device further includes an articulation mechanism controllable from the handle. The articulation mechanism includes a first gear disposed in the proximal portion and a second gear disposed in the distal portion. A drive mechanism for deploying an implant from a distal end of the distal portion includes an elongated member having a flexible region traversing the articulation region with the first gear disposed around the elongated member. L'invention concerne un dispositif médical et son procédé d'utilisation. Le dispositif médical comprend une poignée reliée amovible à une tige ayant une partie proximale fixée à une partie distale par le biais d'une région d'articulation. Le dispositif comprend en outre un mécanisme d'articulation pouvant être commandé depuis la poignée. Le mécanisme d'articulation comprend un premier engrenage disposé dans la partie proximale et un second engrenage disposé dans la partie distale. Un mécanisme d'entraînement destiné à déployer un implant depuis une extrémité distale de la partie distale comprend un élément allongé ayant une région flexible traversant la zone d'articulation, le premier engrenage étant disposé autour de l'élément allongé.
