ABSTRACT:
One example of surgical apparatus for treating tissue may include an effector including at least two jaws movable toward one another, where the effector holds and is configured to deploy a of clips in a clip application mode, and where the jaws are configured to deliver energy to coagulate tissue in a coagulation mode, where said effector is switchable between clip application mode and coagulation mode. Another example of surgical apparatus for treating tissue may include an effector holding clips, and two fingers movable toward one another to close the clips one at a time, where each finger is a different pole of a bipolar coagulator. An exemplary method for treating tissue with a surgical apparatus may include placing the surgical apparatus adjacent to tissue at a location, selecting one of a plurality of operational modes of the surgical apparatus, where the operational modes include clip application mode and coagulation mode, and actuating the surgical apparatus according to the selected operational mode.
