#$%^&*AU2011253698B220140306.pdf#####BIPOLAR FORCEPS HAVING MONOPOLAR EXTENSION Abstract An endoscopic forceps (10), comprising a housing (20) having a shaft (12) affixed thereto, the shaft (12) including first and second jaw members (110, 120) attached to a distal end thereof, an actuator (71) operable to move at least one jaw member (110, 120) relative to the other jaw member (110, 120) from a first position wherein the jaw members (110, 120) are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members (110, 120) cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween, each jaw member (110, 120) configured to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy (300) such that the jaw members (110, 120) are selectively capable of conducting bipolar energy through tissue held therebetween, a knife (185) configured to selectively move within a knife channel (115) defined within at least one of the first and second jaw members (110, 120) to cut tissue disposed between the first and second jaw members (110, 120); and a monopolar element (154) housed within at least the first jaw member (110) and configured to mechanically engage the knife (185) in a removable fashion, the monopolar element (154) selectively movable from a first position within at least the first jaw member (110) to a second position distal to at least the first jaw member (110), the monopolar element (154) configured to connect to the source of electrosurgical energy (300) and configured to be selectively activatable independent of the first and second jaw members (110, 120).
