The head is rotatable about a first axis and is configured to effectuate a medical procedure. The pushrod is attached at a distal end to the head and attached at a proximal end to a handle. The pushrod is configured to translate along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, where translation of the pushrod along the second axis rotates the head about the first axis. The handle includes a lever coupled at one first end to the pushrod and pivoting the lever about the third axis translates the pushrod along the second axis.
