#$%^&*AU2015243043B220161124.pdf#####BIPOLAR SURGICAL INSTRUMENT ABSTRACT A bipolar forceps (10), comprising: a mechanical forceps (20) including first and second shafts (12 and 14) pivotably moveable relative to one another about a pivot (25), each shaft (12, 14) having ajaw member (42, 44) extending from a distal end (17, 19) thereof and a handle (16, 18) disposed at a proximal end (13, 15) thereof for effecting movement of the jaw members (42, 44) relative to one another about the pivot (25) from a first position, wherein the jaw members (42, 44) are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another, to a second position, wherein the jaw members (42, 44) cooperate to grasp tissue； a housing (70) configured to couple to at least one of the shafts (12, 14)； an electrode assembly (21) including a first electrode configured to couple to the jaw member (42, 44) of the first shaft (12) and a second electrode configured to couple to the jaw member (42, 44) of the second shaft (14), each electrode adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy to allow selective conduction of electrosurgical energy through tissue when the jaw members (42, 44) are in the second position； and a switch (36) supported by the housing (70) and configured to control delivery of electrosurgical energy from the source of electrosurgical energy to the first and second electrodes upon movement of the jaw members (42, 44) between the first and second positions.
