An electrosurgical forceps includes a shaft having a pair of jaw members at a distal end thereof that are movable about a pivot 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 are closer to one another for grasping tissue. A movable handle is included that actuates the shaft to move the jaw members relative to one another At least one of the jaw members is adapted to connect to a source of electrical energy such that one or both jaw members are capable of conducting energy to tissue held therebetween. An insulating boot is disposed on at least a portion of an exterior surface of one or both jaw members about the pivot and at a distal end of the shaft. The insulating boot includes an overmolded thermoplastic clevis disposed on an inner periphery thereof that is configured to enhance the mechanical engagement of the insulating boot with the one or both jaw members and the distal end of the shaft.
