Abstract
A surgical grasper includes a first handle arm, a second handle arm pivotally coupled to the first handle arm, a tool body pivotally coupled to both the first handle arm and the second handle arm, a first jaw member pivotally coupled to the tool body, a second jaw member pivotally coupled to the tool body, a first tension element coupled to both the first handle arm and to the first jaw member, a second tension element coupled to both the second handle arm and to the second jaw member, and a lock that locks relative movement between the first and second handle arms. Rotational movement of the first and second handle arms generates correlated rotational movement of the first and second jaw members.
