Abstract
An improved snare cauterization instrument assembly is provided with a plurality of fixed connecting strands that severably join the web member to the cauterization loop to prevent the undesired movement of the web to the distal end of the loop prior to electrical activation and severing of the tissue sample. A method of manufacturing the assembly employs a resilient, flexible catheter as a tool to facilitate the placement of the web member on the loop.
