bipolar forceps (10) for sealing and dividing tissue, comprising: a housing (20) having a stem (12) attached thereto, including the rod member first and second jaw (110, 120) subject to a distal end thereof including at least one of the jaw members one knife channel (115) substantially disposed along the length of the jaw member; an actuator (30) to move the jaw members 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; being connectable each jaw member to a source of electrosurgical energy such that the jaw members are capable of conducting bipolar energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a tissue seal; and knife assembly (140) including an elongated bar scalpel (184) supporting a knife (185) having a cutting edge; Mobile selectively being bar elongate scalpel (184) within the knife channel to force the tissue disposed within the knife channel into engagement with the cutting edge of the knife after distal movement thereof, which, in turn, short tissue disposed between the jaw members, wherein the knife bar (184) extending distally from a front edge of the knife (185) to ensure that the tissue is lifted from the knife channel ahead of the cutting edge of the knife.
