    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical device comprising a handle having a handle body, wherein the handle includes an actuator, wherein the actuator is operably connected to the elevator, wherein activation of the actuator causes movement of the elevator, and wherein the actuator is configured to be contacted by a user, and an engaging portion which, in at least one configuration of the handle, protrudes from a surface of the handle body toward the actuator, wherein a force exerted by the user on at least one of the actuator or the engaging portion causes the handle to transition between (a) a first configuration in which the engaging portion interacts with the actuator to inhibit movement of the actuator relative to the engaging portion and (b) a second configuration in which the actuator is movable relative to the engaging portion, wherein the actuator includes a wall, wherein, in the first configuration, a first portion of the wall has a first angle with respect to a surface of the handle body, and wherein, in the second configuration, the first portion of the wall has a second angle with respect to the surface of the handle body, wherein the second angle is different from the first angle.
