Abstract
A surgical manipulator includes an outer tube having an axis extending between distal and proximal ends of the tube. A pair of sidewalls extend axially of the outer tube at the distal end, one of the sidewalls being weakened relative to the other sidewall. An actuator disposed interiorly of the outer tube has a fixed relationship with the outer tube distally of the sidewalls and extends proximally to a handle assembly at the proximate end of the outer tube. A finger tab in the handle assembly is operable to apply compressive stress to the actuator to bend the outer tube toward the one sidewall.
