Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an assembly comprising an axle, wherein rotation of the axle causes deflection of a portion of a medical device, a collet having an opening, wherein the axle extends through the opening, and an actuator configured to interact with the collet, wherein a first configuration of the collet permits rotation of the axle relative to the collet and a second configuration of the collet inhibits rotation of the axle relative to the collet, wherein the actuator includes a protrusion, the collet includes a tab, and the protrusion interacts with the tab to transition the collet from the first configuration to the second configuration.
