ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic surgical clamp coagulator apparatus is configured to effect cutting, coagulation, and clamping of tissue by cooperation of a clamping mechanism of the apparatus with an associated ultrasonic end-effector. Selective articulational positioning of the end-effector is achieved by the provision of an articulating mechanism incorporated into the clamp coagulator apparatus. The arrangement permits an elongated portion of the apparatus to be selectively articulatably positioned with respect to an apparatus housing.
