The adapter (200) includes a first drive assembly configured to mechanically engage a portion of a first actuation mechanism (124) of the handle housing. The elongated portion (350) is configured to extend distally from the adapter (200). The first drive element (222) is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the first drive assembly. The second drive element (223) is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the first drive assembly. Rotation of the first drive assembly in a first direction about the longitudinal axis causes distal translation of the first drive element (222). Rotation of the first drive assembly in a second direction about the longitudinal axis causes distal translation of the second drive element (223). The first direction is opposite from the second direction.
