Abstract

An electrosurgical instrument having a knob with an internal gear, a shaft extending from the body with an external gear that is coupled to the internal gear, and a pair of jaws mounted to the shaft. The internal gear and the external gear have a gear ratio greater than 1:1 so that the shaft and jaws rotate at a faster than the knob when it is turned by a user. The axis of rotation of the knob is offset from the axis of rotation of the shaft so that the knob can project asymmetrically from the body for easier rotation by a user.
