ABSTRACT:
An adaptor apparatus configured to plug directly into the connectors on the front panel of an electrosurgical instrument, and provided with connector means for receiving mating connectors of both an unipolar handpiece and a bipolar forceps. Switch means are provided on the adaptor apparatus for allowing a surgeon in an operating room to easily switch over from the unipolar to the bipolar mode by simply throwing the switch. Since the adaptor can be attached to the electrosurgical instrument and the unipolar handpiece and bipolar forceps both attached to the adaptor before a sterile field is created, only the switch handle need be touched to switch between the two modes. Thus, it is easy to maintain the sterile field of the operating room.
