Claim 1:
2. A controller for a surgical device comprising:
a first toothed assembly selectively engaging a repositionable button, the first toothed assembly repositionable with respect to a hand-held housing and coupled to a connection wire extending beyond the hand-held housing;
a handle mechanism repositionably coupled to the hand-held housing, the handle mechanism coupled to a draw wire extending beyond the hand-held housing;
a first spring biasing engagement between the first toothed assembly and the repositionable button so as to preclude rotation of the first toothed assembly with respect to the repositionable button, wherein repositioning the repositionable button to overcome the biasing allows rotation of the first toothed assembly with respect to the repositionable button.
