摘要:
A surgical instrument includes an end effector assembly having jaw members movable to grasp tissue therebetween. One or both jaw members is adapted to connect to a source of energy for treating tissue grasped and one or both of the jaw members is adapted to connect to a source of energy for electrically cutting tissue. A first switch assembly is selectively activatable for supplying energy to treat tissue. A second switch is selectively activatable for supplying energy to electrically cut tissue. The tactile feel and range of motion during actuation of the second switch assembly mimics the tactile feel and range of motion of activation of a mechanical actuator that advances a cutting blade between the jaw members to mechanically cut tissue.
