1. An apparatus comprising:
a housing having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end, and a distal end; a jaw element pivotally attached to the distal end of the housing; an actuation rod extending from the proximal end of the housing to the distal end; a rack driver pivotally attached to the housing at a pivot point, movement of the actuation rod causing pivotal movement of the rack driver about a first axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; a rack coupling movement of the rack driver to pivotal movement of the jaw element, the rack pivotally movable along a second axis skew to the first axis and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. |
