A surgical instrument is implemented with an extended curved tip to facilitate maneuvering and manipulating around small spaces and tissues at a surgical site in the body of a patient. The surgical instrument comprises of an end-effector and an extended curved tip that is coupled to the end-effector. A proximal portion of the extended curved tip is coupled to a distal portion of the extended curved tip, and a distal portion of the extended curved tip is configured to be a substantially tapered end or a tapered free-end.
