Zusammenfassung:A surgical instrument is provided having a housing defining a longitudinal axis. A handle is operably conected to the housing and defines a longitudinal axis angularly disposed relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing. A fixed support is attached to the housing and defines a longitudinal axis angularly disposed relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The fixed support is radially offset with respect to the handle. A body portion extends distally from the housing, and a tool assembly operably associated with a distal end portion of the body portion is remotely actuable by the handle.
