The jaw members (110, 120) are movable from an open to a closed position and the jaw members (110, 120) are connected to a source of electrosurgical energy such that the jaw members (110, 120) are capable of conducting energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a tissue seal. A knife assembly (140) may be included that allows a user to selectively divide tissue upon actuation thereof. 1o The insulating boot (500) may be made from a viscoelastic, elastomeric or flexible material suitable for use with a sterilization process including ethylene oxide.1/28 C141 r/I 64/ CO CID /o
