A bipolar forceps includes a shaft having opposing jaw members at a distal end thereof and a drive assembly for moving the jaw members relative to one another from a first position wherein the jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. The forceps also includes a handle having a first and second gripping portions which cooperate with first and second movable actuators, respectively, for independently actuating the drive assembly to move the jaw members. The forceps is connected to source of electrical energy such that the jaw members are capable of conducting energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a tissue seal. The forceps also includes a selectively advanceable knife assembly for cutting tissue along the tissue seal. |
