Retrieval device

A retrieval device, the device comprising:

• a first plate movably coupled to a body via a first body fastener;
• a second plate movably coupled to the body via a second body fastener;
• an upper plate connector movably coupled to the first plate and to the second plate, wherein upper plate connector is movably coupled to the first plate with a first upper fastener, and wherein the upper plate connector is movably coupled to the second plate with a second upper fastener;
• a lower plate connector movably coupled to the first plate and to the second plate, wherein the lower plate connector is movably coupled to the first plate with a first lower fastener, wherein the lower plate connector is movably coupled to the second plate with a second lower fastener, wherein the lower plate connector is coupled to the first plate between the upper plate connector and the first body fastener, and wherein the lower plate connector is coupled to the second plate between the upper plate connector and the second body fastener;
• a first upper gripper coupled to the upper plate connector, wherein the first upper fastener couples the first upper gripper to the upper plate connector;
• a first lower gripper coupled to the lower plate connector, wherein the first lower fastener couples the first lower gripper to the lower plate connector, wherein the device is movable between an open position, in which the first upper gripper and first lower gripper are positioned relatively distally from each other, and a closed position, in which the first upper gripper and first lower gripper are positioned relatively proximate to each other;
• and
• a tensioner that is configured to tension the device in the open position, wherein the tensioner is coupled to the first plate and to the second plate.
