Abstract
An electrosurgical instrument includes an elongated shaft having opposing jaw members at a distal end thereof. The jaw members are movable relative to one another 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 cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. A source of electrosurgical energy is connected to at least one of the jaw members such that the jaw members are capable of sealing tissue held therebetween.
