Abstract
An electrosurgical coagulation instrument includes a body, a suction pipe, and an electrode. The body has a central passage that defines a longitudinal axis. The suction pipe has a distal end and defines a lumen. The suction pipe is disposed within the central passage. The electrode has a distal tip that is configured to deliver energy to tissue. The electrode is disposed within the lumen of the suction pipe. The suction pipe and/or the electrode is slidable along the longitudinal axis with respect to the body and the other of the electrode and the suction pipe.
