An electrosurgical device having a handpiece including a controller and an electrode assembly extending from the handpiece is disclosed. The electrode assembly includes a monopolar blade and a monopolar electrode. The monopolar blade includes a conductive element partially coated with an insulator and electrically coupled to the controller to selectively deliver a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) cutting signal. The monopolar electrode is spaced apart and electrically isolated from the monopolar blade. The monopolar electrode includes an exposed major conductive surface electrically coupled to the controller to selectively deliver a monopolar RF hemostatic sealing signal with a dispersed fluid.

An electrosurgical device includes a first shaft defining a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen therethrough. A fluid delivery tube is disposed within the lumen, the fluid delivery tube defining a proximal end a distal end. An electrically conductive treatment element is in electrical communication with and coupled to the distal end of the first shaft, the electrically conductive treatment element includes a conductive fluid conduit in fluid communication with and affixed within a portion of the fluid delivery tube. A second shaft is in electrical communication with the first shaft, the first shaft being slideably disposed within the second shaft and movable from a first position in which the electrically conductive treatment element is proximate to the distal end of the second shaft to a second position in which the electrically conductive treatment element is advanced a distance away from the distal end of the second shaft.
