Claim 18:
19. The medical device of claim 17, further comprising:
a catheter connected to the first end effector and the second end effector at a distal end of the catheter, wherein:
when the first end effector and the second end effector are in the open configuration and surrounding a target, the first actuator pin is positioned at the second end of the first slot and the second actuator pin is positioned at the second end of the second slot, and
when a gap remains between at least one of the first end effector and the second end effector in the open configuration and the target, a distal advancement of the catheter causes the first actuator pin to slide from the second end to the first end of the first slot and the second actuator pin to slide from the second end to the first end of the second slot, which rotates the first end effector and the second end effector about an axle pin pivotally connecting the first end effector and the second end effector to the distal end of the clevis to remove the gap.
