Claim:
1. A surgical device comprising: a first member having a cavity and a post disposed in the cavity; a second member slidably attached to the first member, the second member movable between a first position and a second position; and a lock disposed in the cavity, the lock including at least one arm, wherein axial movement of the second member from the first position to the second position moves the at least one arm towards the post, such that when the second member is in the second position a distal end of the at least one arm engages a surface of the second member and inhibits the second member from movement towards the first position; wherein an exterior surface of a distal end of the first member is exposed when the second member is in the first position such that direct contact with the distal end of the first member is permitted, and the exterior surface of the distal end of the first member is covered when the second member is in the second position such that the second member provides a barrier against direct contact with the distal end of the first member.
