1. A medical device, comprising:
a handle assembly including a plurality of actuators, wherein at least a distal portion of the handle assembly defines a longitudinal axis of the medical device,
wherein a first actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to translate proximally and distally relative to the handle assembly along a second axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein the first actuator is positioned along a top wall of the handle assembly;
wherein a second actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to pivot about a third axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein a first portion of the second actuator is positioned along the top wall and a second portion of the second actuator is positioned along a sidewall of the handle assembly; and
wherein a third actuator of the plurality of actuators is configured to rotate relative to the handle assembly and about the longitudinal axis or a fourth axis parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein the third actuator is positioned along the sidewall of the handle assembly.
