• a support member extending between the first grasping member and the second grasping member;
• wherein the first grasping member of the two grasping members has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the first grasping member is directly coupled to the support member, and the first grasping member extends in a first direction away from the support member;
• and wherein the second grasping member of the two grasping members is spaced apart from the first grasping member along a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the endoscope, the second grasping member has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the second grasping member is directly coupled to the support member, the second grasping member extends in the first direction away from the support member, and the second grasping member is movable along the support member relative to the first grasping member.
