A laparoscopic medical device assembly includes a laparoscopic tool with a handle actuator coupled to slide a deployment/capture device within, and relative to, a sheath. An end effector has a knob attached to a proximal end of an actuator rod that extends through a base, and includes a pair of arms pivotally attached to the base. The laparoscopic tool and the end effector are movable among a capture/unactuated configuration, a capture/actuated configuration and a release configuration. The end effector may be left clamped to tissue while the laparoscopic tool is removed allowing an alternative use of the trocar access.
