Abstract

See full text

A quick-connect adapter, configured to receive an end of a medical tool, is disclosed and can include a base. A support sleeve can extend from the base having an internal cavity with a first portion defined by a first internal circumferential surface parallel to a major axis of the quick-connect adapter and a second portion defined by a second internal circumferential surface non-parallel to the major axis and generally adjacent to the first portion. A medical tool engagement sleeve can be slidingly disposed within the support sleeve and have a receiving channel and an opening through the engagement sleeve into the receiving channel. The quick-connect adapter can be movable between an engaged configuration, in which the lateral opening is substantially aligned with the second portion of the support sleeve, and an unlocked configuration, in which the lateral opening is substantially aligned with the first portion of the support sleeve.
