ABSTRACT:
A laparoscopic electrosurgical instrument which has the capability to grasp, fulgurate, and cut tissue. The laparoscopic electrosurgical instrument has an electrically insulative longitudinal body having a proximal and distal end, and a housing at the distal end. A pair of grasping conductors extend longitudinally from the housing, the conductors being spaced apart in substantially parallel actuatable relationship, and each of the conductors also has a slot therein. A pair of scissors-like cutting members also extends from the housing from between the pair of conductors, and each of the cutting members has a proximal and distal end, with the proximal ends each pivotally connected to the housing and each distal end extending laterally through one of the slots of the pair of conductors. The proximal ends of the cutting member are in actuatable relationship to each other. There is also means extending through the longitudinal body for actuating the pair of conductors and pair of scissors-like cutting members, and for selectively supplying an electrical charge to the pair of conductors. On the proximal end of the body, there are means for controlling the actuation of the pair of conductors and pair of scissors-like cutting members.
