Abstract
A medical device for cutting a suture during a minimally invasive procedure includes an elongate shaft, a handle housing disposed at the proximal end of the elongate shaft, and a cutting blade disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft. A proximal portion of the handle housing includes an actuation mechanism including a lever arm having a first portion disposed outside of the handle housing and extending distally from the proximal portion of the handle housing. Translation of the first portion of the lever arm relative to the handle housing axially translates the cutting blade within the elongate shaft. A medical device system may include a stand configured to support at least one medical device and a medical device securable to the stand.
