1. A surgical forceps, comprising:
a first shaft member including a proximal portion including a handle disposed at a proximal end thereof and a distal portion including a jaw member disposed at a distal end thereof, the proximal and distal portions pivotably coupled to one another and pivotable relative to one another between an aligned position, wherein the proximal and distal portions cooperate to define a substantially linear configuration, and an angled position, wherein the proximal portion is angled relative to the distal portion; and a second shaft member including a jaw member disposed at a distal end thereof and a handle disposed at a proximal end thereof, the first and second shaft members pivotably coupled to one another towards the distal end of the distal portion of the first shaft member and the distal end of the second shaft member and pivotable relative to one another between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for moving the jaw members relative to one another between an open position and a closed position to grasp tissue therebetween, wherein the proximal portion of the first shaft member is pivoted relative to the distal portion of the first shaft member from the aligned position to the angled position upon movement of the first and second shaft members towards the spaced-apart position. |
