Each jaw member (110, 120) includes an electrically conductive tissue contacting surface (112, 122) connected to an electrosurgical energy source (500). At least one of the jaw members (110, 120) includes io an electrically conductive cutting element (127) disposed within an insulator defined in the jaw member. At least one channel is included in the insulator (113, 123) which is configured to deliver fluid between the jaw members (110, 120).1/20 OcQ ii ,0) 0) C 1j
