An endoscopic cutting system includes a housing assembly adapted to engage and support the cutting blade of an endoscopic cutting device within the working channel of an endoscope in order to provide one handed operation of the endoscopic cutting system. The housing assembly can include an actuator mechanism that connects a lever to the endoscopic cutting device such that when a user applies pressure on or moves the lever, the cutting blade moves axially within the working channel of the endoscope. The cutting blade can include two cutting elements, a first cutting element including a side cutting window adapted for surgically removing individual segments of tissue and a second cutting element located distally of the first cutting element adapted for incising or piercing tissue. |
