<p>This application relates to laparoscopic forceps comprising: a) a handle assembly (8) comprising a pair of pivotally connected bow members (10) ; b) a tool assembly (12) comprising a pair of jaw members (14) ; c) an elongate body portion (2) extending distally from the handle assembly (8) towards the tool assembly (12) , the elongate body portion (2) defining the longitudinal axis of the forceps, the proximal end of the elongate body portion (2) being pivotally connected to the handle assembly (8) by a universal joint (4) and the distal end of the elongate body portion (2) being pivotally connected to the tool assembly (12) by a universal joint (6) ; d) an actuating mechanism connecting the handle assembly (8) to the tool assembly (12) for effecting synchronised pivotal movement of the handle assembly (8) and the tool assembly (12) relative to the elongate body (2) of the forceps, and e) an opening and closing mechanism to effect simultaneous clamping movement of the jaw members (14) of the tool assembly (12) in response to movement of the bow members (10) of the handle assembly (8) .</p> |
