ABSTRACT:
A combination argon plasma coagulation (APC) and monopolar electrosurgical device and method are shown. An electrosurgical tool such as a spatula, hook, ball, or the like has a neck and a plurality of members biased to an open position. The electrosurgical tool is connected to the shaft having a channel therein for accommodating an APC probe. A collet is placed on the shaft and is provided with a mechanism such as threads to permit movement of the collet with respect to the shaft. Such movement causes the plurality of members of the surgical tool to move being open and closed positions.
