ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments are directed to a surgical device including an end effector. The end effector may include a first jaw member defining a first groove and a second jaw member defining a second groove. The first jaw member and the second jaw member may be selectively pivotable between an open position and a closed position. Also, the first groove and the second groove may align to form a combined helical groove when the first jaw member and the second jaw member are in the closed position. In addition, the first jaw member may define a wire opening aligned with the first groove. Further, the first jaw member may define a beveled edge directed distally and substantially parallel to a distal portion of the wire opening.
