A medical device and related methods of use are disclosed. The medical device includes a tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The medical device further includes an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end, such that at least a portion of the elongate member is movably disposed within the lumen of the tubular member. The distal end of the elongate member includes an end-effector, wherein a portion of the elongate member between the proximal end and the distal end transitions automatically from a first state to a second state when the portion is advanced out of the lumen of the tubular member, and wherein the portion is proximal of the end-effector.
