a housing;
a sheath extending along a longitudinal axis;
an end effector provided distally relative to the sheath, the end effector including a pair of grasping jaws configured to open and close;
a movable shaft provided in the sheath and connected to the end effector, the movable shaft being configured to move with respect to the sheath along the longitudinal axis so as to operate the pair of grasping jaws;
a first movable handle configured to pivot with respect to the housing about a pivot axis; and
a flange connected to the movable shaft,
wherein:
the flange is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis to allow the medical device to operate in one of:
a first state in which the flange contacts with the first movable handle at a first position, and
