1. A medical device configured for use with an imaging device, comprising:
a tool having an actuator, at least one extension at a distal portion of the actuator, and a distal end, wherein the at least one extension extends radially outward from the actuator and has an edge configured to fragment debris within a body lumen; and
a cap configured for coupling to a distal end of the imaging device, the cap including a body defining an opening and a first cavity;
wherein the opening is configured to align with optics of the imaging device, and the at least one extension is positioned within the first cavity of the body;
wherein a distal tip of the tool is secured within a second cavity of the cap to restrict longitudinal movement of the tool and allow rotational movement of the tool about a longitudinal axis of the tool.
