A medical device comprises a housing and a sheath having opposed proximal and distal ends and being attached from the proximal end to the housing. An end effector is attached to the distal end portion of the sheath. The end effector includes a pair of grasping jaws capable of be openable and closable with respect to one another. A movable shaft includes a distal end that being connected at to the end effector and configured to be movable with respect to the sheath so as to cause the paired grasping jaws to be opened or closed with respect to one another. A movable handle is configured to pivot with respect to the housing and having an input position where an operation is inputted so as to cause the handle to pivot. The movable shaft is changeable in an initial state before the operation is inputted at the input position.
