1. An apparatus for capturing and manipulating a magnetic compression anastomosis device, the apparatus comprising:
an elongate hollow body having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end having an angled distal end geometry that is angled back toward the proximal end at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongate hollow body; and
an articulating facia coupled at the distal end of the elongate hollow body and movable between at least a closed position and a fully-opened position, the articulating facia including at least one capture device configured to capture a magnetic anastomosis device, wherein:
in the closed position, the articulating facia is angled substantially with the angled distal end geometry, and
in the fully-opened position, the articulating facia is pivoted away from the angled distal end geometry to an angle of at least around 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the elongate hollow body.
