Patent ID: 8721630

Claim:
A surgical device, comprising: an elongate shaft having a proximal end with a handle movably coupled thereto, and a distal end having a flexible neck extending therefrom with an end effector coupled to a distal end of the flexible neck, wherein the handle and the flexible neck are operatively associated such that movement of the handle is mimicked by the flexible neck; and a rotating member coupled to the handle, wherein the rotating member is configured to rotate relative to the handle in a distal position to effectuate rotation or actuation of the end effector, wherein the rotating member is configured to be retracted from the distal position to a proximal position relative to the handle, wherein the rotating member is configured to rotate relative to the handle in the proximal position to effectuate the other of rotation or actuation of the end effector, and wherein actuation fires at least one fastener from the end effector, causes the end effector to cut tissue, or both fires at least one fastener from the end effector and causes the end effector to cut tissue.
