BIPOLAR ELECTRO-SURGICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

A bipolar surgical instrument for passing current through tissue of a patient includes a handle, an actuator mounted on the handle, first and second shafts, first and second effectors mounted on distal ends of the respective first and second shafts, and a sleeve disposed around the shafts and slidable relative to the shafts from an actuated position to an open position. In the open position, the effectors are separated away from one another. The shafts and the effectors are resiliently biased outward away from one another.
