Abstract: In one example, a controller configured for use with a medical device, may include a body configured to removably couple to the medical device. The body may include a gear configured to mate with a first actuator of the medical device; and a second actuator, and the actuation of the second actuator may be configured to initiate movement of the gear and the first actuator.

Abstract: A device includes a handle, a shaft and a steering mechanism. The handle includes a first actuator for an end effector. The shaft extends from the handle and sized and shaped to pass through a working channel of an endoscope. A distal end of the shaft includes the end effector. A pull wire extends from the handle to the end effector for actuating the end effector. The mechanism includes a second actuator for bending the distal end relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The mechanism includes a first steering wheel having a first steering wire extending therefrom to the distal end of the shaft. Rotating the second actuator rotates the first steering wheel and tensions the first steering wire to bend the shaft, the pull wire for the end effector remaining actuatable when the distal end is bent.
