摘要：
An electrosurgical instrument has a movable tissue cutting mechanism and a pair of opposing jaws having a first jaw and a second jaw. The jaws move between a closed position for clamping and sealing tissue therebetween and an open position. At least one jaw has a conductive core member and a non-conductive coating, the non-conductive coating covering a portion of the core member and exposing a portion of the core member to form a sealing surface area recessed relative to the non-conductive coating. Each jaw has an elongated slot for receiving a portion of the cutting mechanism, the cutting mechanism movable between a proximal position and a distal position for cutting tissue clamped between the pair of opposing jaws. A related method is also described.
