摘要:
An electrosurgical instrument includes an end effector having first and second jaws defining an electrically conductive gap setting member configured to maintain a gap between energy delivery surfaces of the first and second jaws. The first jaw comprises a first energy delivery surface, a first body, a first distal end, a first proximal end, and a first electrically conductive member protruding from the first body at the first distal end. The second jaw comprises a second energy delivery surface further comprising an aperture, a second body, a second distal end, a second proximal end, and a second electrically conductive member protruding from the second body at the second distal end. The second jaw further comprises an electrically insulative member extending through the aperture. At least one electrically conductive gap setting member is configured to maintain a gap between energy delivery surfaces of the first and second jaw.
