A forceps includes first and second shafts configured to support an end effector assembly at a distal end thereof. The end effector includes first and second opposing jaw members each having an electrically conductive plate associated therewith configured to communicate electrosurgical energy between electrically conductive plates upon selective activation thereof. The first and second jaw members pivotable relative to one another about a pivot such that the jaw members are selectively movable between an open position wherein the jaw members are spaced relative to one another and a closed position for grasping tissue therebetween. A fluid line is integrated with one of the shafts and is configured to selectively deliver fluid from a fluid source to the end effector assembly proximate the electrically conductive plates during electrical activation.
