Dual-use handle

The invention provides a dual-purpose handle, comprising a body, wherein mounting holes are provided in the body and are used for connecting to functional members; the mounting holes are provided in the body in both an axial direction and a radial direction; axial and radial mounting holes provided in the body can enable the handle and the functional members to easily and quickly switch between two connection forms, i.e. straight and T-shaped; and torsional torques that are different in magnitude can be output by means of different connection manners under the action of the same operation force. Clamping devices fitted with the functional members are arranged in the mounting holes; and when the functional members are connected to the handle, the clamping devices can fix the functional members and prevent same from rotating in a cavity of the body of the handle. The axial and radial holes of the handle are configured to be through holes, so that the handle can be adapted to guide needles of different sizes passing through same and is suitable for minimally invasive surgery, thereby further expanding the range of use of the handle.
