Abstract
An electrosurgical instrument includes an instrument shaft, and a suction tube extending along the shaft, the suction tube being formed of an electrically-conductive material and including a way or portion by which it can be connected to a source of electrosurgical energy. A blade-like tissue treatment electrode extends from the shaft, the blade-like tissue treatment electrode being integrally formed by the distal end of the suction tube. The distal end of the suction tube is flattened to form the blade-like tissue treatment electrode, and the distal end of the suction tube is disposed at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
