摘要:
A bipolar forceps (10) includes a mechanical forceps (20) including first and second shafts (12 14) each having a jaw member (42 44) extending from a distal end thereof and a handle (16 18) disposed at a proximal end thereof for effecting movement of the jaw members (42 44) relative to one another about a pivot (25). A disposable housing (70) is configured to releasably couple to at least one of the shafts (12 14) and an electrode assembly (21) is associated with the disposable housing (70). The electrode assembly (21) includes electrodes (110 120) releasably coupleable to the jaw members (42 44). At least one of the electrodes (110 120) includes a knife channel (58) configured to receive a knife blade (85) therethrough to cut tissue (150) grasped between the jaw members (42 44). A switch (36) is configured to initiate delivery of electrosurgical energy from the source of electrosurgical energy to the electrodes (110 120). An actuation mechanism is configured to selectively advance the knife blade (85) through the knife channel (58) to cut tissue (150).
