1. A medical device, comprising:
a handle body having a proximal end and a distal end;
a handle portion on the handle body and configured to move relative to the handle body;
a catheter extending from the distal end of the handle body;
a wire attached to the handle portion and extending through the catheter, wherein the wire is configured to be removably connected to a dispensable device at a distal end of the catheter such that movement of the handle portion relative to the handle body actuates the wire to release the dispensable device; and
a controller to prevent connection of another dispensable device to the wire after the dispensable device has been dispensed by the medical device, wherein the controller includes:
a first chamber extending along the handle body, wherein a plurality of elements are disposed within the first chamber, wherein the plurality of elements are configured to be moved sequentially and individually from a proximal end of the first chamber to a distal end of the first chamber; and
a second chamber defined by the handle portion, wherein the second chamber is movable within the first chamber.
