    Abstract: A medical instrument having a handle with a clamp that is configured to maintain the instrument in two different operational modes. The medical instrument includes a needle, a sheath, a sheath handle, a needle actuator and a locking device. The distal end of the needle actuator is connected to the proximal end of the needle. The distal end of the sheath handle is connected to the proximal end of the sheath. The locking device restricts distal movement of the needle actuator relative to the sheath handle when the medical device is placed in one of two operational states. In a deactivation state the distal end of the needle is housed within the distal end of the sheath. In an activation state the distal end of the needle is distal from the distal end of the sheath.

    Abstract: A medical device system for the delivery of energy to a region of a patient's anatomy is provided. An introducer tube defines a lumen therein and bears a first electrode. A second electrode is movable within the lumen between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position, the second electrode is substantially disposed within the lumen. In the extended position, the second electrode extends at least partially beyond the distal end of the introducer tube. In one form, the introducer tube is configured to substantially hold the second electrode within the lumen in a predetermined orientation in the extended position, and the introducer tube prevents the second electrode from substantially rotating within the lumen of the introducer tube during movement into the extended position. In one form, the introducer tube is more flexible in a first plane than in a second plane. A method is also provided.

The assembly includes a delivery catheter having a deployment lumen (122) with a distal end (130) configured to receive the intra-bronchial device (250) in a delivery configuration, and configured to be passed down a trachea and advanced to a location for deployment of the intra-bronchial device (250) in an air passageway (48) of a lung. The assembly is further configured to deploy the intra-bronchial device (250) by retracting a portion of the deployment catheter (120). The assembly further includes a bronchial device supply tool associated with the distal end (130) of the deployment catheter. The supply tool is configured to carry the intra-bronchial device (250) in a storage configuration and to load the intra-bronchial device (250) in a delivery configuration into the deployment lumen (122) of distal end (130) of the deployment catheter (120). The supply tool is also configured to carry the intra-bronchial device (250) in an expanded storage configuration. An embodiment of the supply tool includes a storage cavity, a delivery portion, and a tapered configuration.
