1. A medical device, comprising:
a handle including a plurality of actuators;
a shaft extending from the handle, wherein the shaft defines a central longitudinal axis extending through the shaft; and
an end effector at a distal end of the shaft;
wherein a first actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to actuate the end effector in response to translation of the first actuator relative to the handle along an axis parallel to the central longitudinal axis;
wherein a second actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to deflect the end effector relative to the shaft in response to pivoting the second actuator about an axis transverse to the central longitudinal axis; and
wherein a third actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to rotate the end effector relative to the shaft in response to rotation of the third actuator relative to the handle about the central longitudinal axis.
