#$%^&*AU2013254884A120131121.pdf#####BIPOLAR FORCEPS HAVING MONOPOLAR EXTENSION Abstract An endoscopic forceps (10) is provided. The endoscopic forceps (10) comprises 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) including an electrically conductive tissue engaging surface (112) adapted 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 and at least one of the electrically conductive surfaces (112) of a respective one of the jaw members (110, 120) including an insulating material (634) at a distal end thereof that isolates a conductive monopolar element (154) that is selectively activatable independent of the electrically conductive surfaces (112) of the jaw members (110, 120) to treat tissue in a monopolar fashion.
