A retaining ring (30) is rotatably disposed on the proximal end of the handle member for securing the wire guide inside the groove along the proximal end of the handle member. A lever (40) is slidably disposed in the distal end of the handle member for securing the wire guide inside the groove along the distal end of the handle member. The device further includes a pin (60) having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is engaged with the lever and the second end is engaged with the handle member.
