An electrosurgical forceps adapted to connect to an electrosurgical energy source is provided. The electrosurgical forceps includes a housing having a shaft that extends therefrom that defines a longitudinal axis therethrough. The electrosurgical forceps includes an end effector assembly operatively connected to a distal end of the shaft and includes a pair of first and second jaw members. One or both of the jaw members being partially manufactured from a shape memory alloy (SMA). Each of the first and second jaw members adapted to connect to a heat source and an electrical electrosurgical energy source. One or both of the jaw members is movable relative to the other from a normally open spaced configuration to a closed configuration upon transition of the SMA from a martensite phase to an austenite phase as a result of selectively supplying heat from the heat source thereto.
