Abstract
A surgical tool including a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, a yoke disposed within the housing between the proximal end and the distal end, a handle pivotally coupled to the housing, and a pivot assembly coupling the yoke to the housing. The pivot assembly includes a first link having a first end and a second end. The first end of the first link is rotatably coupled to the housing and the second end of the first link rotatably coupled to a second link at a first end of the second link. The second link has a second end rotatably coupled to the yoke. The handle is coupled to the pivot assembly such that movement of the handle causes movement of the yoke.
