Abstract

A handle assembly for a medical instrument having at least one member moveable in at least a first direction against a first bias and a second direction against a second bias stronger than the first bias, includes a housing, a trigger operatively associated with the at least one member and pivotably mounted relative to the housing for pivot around a first limited pivot point and a second pivot point, the trigger being pivotable relative to the housing between a rest position and a pivoted position, wherein pivot of the trigger relative to the housing from the rest position toward the pivoted position results in pivot first around the first limited pivot point and movement of the at least one member in the first direction against the first bias, and subsequently in pivot around the second pivot point and movement of the at least one member in the second direction against the second bias.
