ABSTRACT:
A hand operable bipolar combination scissors and forceps instrument. The instrument comprises two interfacing blade members wherein at least one blade member is pivotable in relation to the other blade member and wherein each blade member is an electrode to which current can flow. Each blade member is shaped to cooperate with the other blade member to thereby form a distal forceps portion and a proximal scissors portion wherein the respective scissors portions are electrically insulated from each other along their interfacing surfaces. Preferably, each blade member is individually pivotable in relation to the other blade member, and the instrument is dimensioned to have utility in endoscopic or other similar procedures.
