An over shoe for use with electrosurgical instruments having a pair of juxtaposed jaw members pivotably associated with one another, at least on e of which includes an electrically conductive surface disposed thereon which is in electrical engagement with an electrosurgical energy source. According to on e aspect of the present disclosure, the over shoe includes a tissue contacting wall configured and dimensioned to selectively and substantially overlie the electrically conductive surface of the electrosurgical instrument. The tissu e contacting wall is fabricated from a non-conductive material and includes a plurality of apertures formed therethrough. In another embodiment, the tissu e contacting wall is electrically conductive and is configured for selective engagement atop on of the jaw members. |
