Methods of manufacturing end effectors for energy-based surgical instruments

摘要

METHODS OF MANUFACTURING END EFFECTORS FOR ENERGY BASED SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS A method of manufacturing an end effector (120) for a surgical instrument includes providing a substrate (130) wherein at least an outer periphery of the substrate (130) is formed from an electrically-insulative material. The method further includes forming at least one ridge (136) on the outer periphery of the substrate (130) and depositing an electrically-conductive material onto the at least one ridge (136) to form at least one electrode (140, 150, 160).
