The tool assembly (60) includes a coupling member (65) coupling the tool assembly (60) to the elongate body (30) and a tool portion (70) pivotally associated with the coupling member (65). The tool portion (70) includes a projection member (75) including a blunt end portion (67) and a cutting member (66) extending distally outward from the projection member (75). The tool portion (70) is operatively coupled to the actuation rod (24). Translation of the actuation rod (24) causes pivotal movement of the tool assembly (60).1/9 I CNl C=0 CNb
