The shaft (12) includes a longitudinal axis defined therethrough and a pair ofjaw members attached to a distal end (16) thereof. The forceps also includes a drive assembly (150) for moving one of the jaw members relative to the other jaw member from a first position wherein the movable jaw members (110, 120) are disposed in spaced relation relative to each other to a second position wherein the jaw members are closer 10 one another for manipulating tissue. A movable handle (40) is included which is rotatable about a pivot (29) to force a drive flange of the movable handle into mechanical cooperation with the drive assembly to move the jaw members from the open and closed positions. The pivot (29) is located a fixed distance from the longitudinal axis and the drive flange is located generally along the longitudinal axis. The forceps is connected to is a source of electrosurgical energy connected to each jaw member such that the jaw member are capable of conducting bipolar energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a tissue seal.
