Vessel sealing forceps with a bipolar electrode

摘要

For use with the forceps end effector having opposing the handle, and for causing relative movement of the end effector relative to each other, the present disclosure relates to a removable electrode assembly. A cover plate having at least a portion, the electrode assembly includes an electrode housing having at least a portion engageable allows and remove at least a part of the forceps engageable to removably to at least a portion of the forceps. The pair of electrodes, I is attached to the distal end of the housing. Preferably, to be placed in relation to the electrode face each other, the electrode is engaged removably on the end effector of the forceps. The instrument also comprises a stop member of at least one controlling the distance between the opposing electrodes.
