#$%^&*AU2011226904A120120419.pdf#####VESSEL SEALING INSTRUMENT Abstract A bipolar electrosurgical instrument (10) includes first and second shafts (120, 126) each having a jaw member (110, 120) extending from its distal end (16a, 16b). Each jaw member (110, 120) is adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy such that the jaw members (110, 120) are capable of selectively conducting energy through tissue held therebetween. A knife channel (115a, 11 5b) is configured to reciprocate a cutting mechanism (85) therealong. An actuator (40) selectively advances the cutting mechanism (85). A switch (50) is disposed on the first shaft (12a) and is configured to be depressed between a first position and at least one subsequent position upon biasing engagement with a mechanical interface (45) disposed on the second shaft (1 2b). The first position of the switch (50) relays information to the user corresponding to a desired pressure on tissue and the at least one subsequent position is configured to activate the source of electrosurgical energy to supply electrosurgical energy to the jaw members (110, 120).1/8 100 2100 a16a 120 17 14a 67b 16b 17a -45 54 45b 51 202c 12b 202b 50 23b 202a 19 23a 14b 200 15a 13 15 210 FIG. 1
