Abstract
An instrument for use in laparoscopy in which the handles are swept back and angled downwardly to provide an ergonomically improved device. The improved handle assembly includes two handle portions. The proximal end of each handle diverges away from the longitudinal axis of the instrument so that from a top plan view the first and second handles lie substantially on opposite sides of that longitudinal axis. The proximal ends of the handles are angled downwardly so that the plane defined by the proximal ends of the handles is non-parallel with respect to the longitudinal axis. The proximal ends of the first and second handle portions optionally are adjustably angled downwardly between about 5.degree. and about 60.degree. with respect to the longitudinal axis when viewed from a side elevational view. An interchangeable sheath holder having tapered sides, and an index finger guide/rest are also disclosed.
