An endoscopic bipolar forceps includes a housing, a shaft affixed to the housing, and a pair of jaw members attached to a distal end of the shaft. The forceps also includes a drive assembly for moving one of the jaw members relative to the other jaw member from a first position to a second position
An endoscopic bipolar forceps includes a housing, a shaft affixed to the housing, and a pair of jaw members attached to a distal end of the shaft. The forceps also includes a drive assembly for moving one of the jaw members relative to the other jaw member from a first position to a second position for manipulating tissue. A movable handle is included which is rotatable about a pivot to force a drive flange of the movable handle into mechanical cooperation with the drive assembly to move the jaw members from the first position to the second position. The forceps is connected to a source of electrosurgical energy connected to each jaw member such that the jaw members are capable of conducting bipolar energy through tissue held therebetween.
1. An endoscopic forceps, comprising: a housing including a handle moveable about a pivot;a shaft extending distally from the housing having a pair of jaw members adjacent a distal end thereof, at least one jaw member of the pair of jaw members pivotable with respect to the shaft, the shaft defining
1. An endoscopic forceps, comprising: a housing including a handle moveable about a pivot;a shaft extending distally from the housing having a pair of jaw members adjacent a distal end thereof, at least one jaw member of the pair of jaw members pivotable with respect to the shaft, the shaft defining a longitudinal axis therethrough;a drive assembly having a drive sleeve configured to move the at least one pivotable jaw member relative to another jaw member of the pair of jaw members from a first position wherein the pair of jaw members are disposed in spaced relation to a second position wherein the pair of jaw members are closer together, the drive assembly including a proximal stop disposed about and fixed relative to the drive sleeve, a distal stop disposed about and movable relative to the drive sleeve, and a spring disposed about the drive sleeve between the proximal stop and the distal stop; anda drive flange disposed distally of the distal stop, the drive flange including a contact portion in contact with the distal stop, wherein proximal actuation of the handle about the pivot causes proximal movement of the contact portion, which, as a result, causes proximal movement of the distal stop to urge the spring into the proximal stop to move the proximal stop proximally which, in turn, moves the drive sleeve proximally to thereby move the at least one pivotable jaw member toward the second position;wherein the pivot is located on one side of the contact portion of the drive flange orthogonal to the longitudinal axis; and wherein a gripping portion of the handle is located on an opposite side of the contact portion of the drive flange orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. 2. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, wherein the drive sleeve is translatable in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal axis. 3. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, wherein the at least one pivotable jaw member includes a pivot flange and wherein the drive sleeve includes an aperture defined therein at a distal end thereof, the aperture configured to mechanically engage the pivot flange of the at least one pivotable jaw member to impart a closure force within a predetermined range to the at least one pivotable jaw member. 4. The endoscopic forceps of claim 3, wherein the predetermined range is about 3 kg/cm2 to about 16 kg/cm2. 5. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, wherein at least one jaw member of the pair of jaw members is adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy to enable conduction of energy through tissue held by the pair of jaw members to effect a tissue seal. 6. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, further comprising a selectively advanceable knife assembly including a knife blade that is configured to cut tissue as the knife assembly is advanced distally. 7. The endoscopic forceps of claim 6, wherein the handle includes a lockout flange dimensioned to impede selective advancement of the knife assembly when the handle is disposed in a first position and wherein the lockout flange of the handle is repositioned to permit selective advancement of the knife assembly when the handle rotates to a second position. 8. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal axis extends through the drive flange. 9. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, further comprising a hand switch disposed at least partially within the housing and in electromechanical cooperation with a source of electrosurgical energy, the hand switch operable to allow a user to selectively supply energy to at least one of the jaw members of the pair of jaw members. 10. The endoscopic forceps of claim 9, wherein the pair of jaw members includes one jaw member that is fixed with respect to the shaft. 11. The endoscopic forceps of claim 10, wherein upon electrical activation of the hand switch, the at least one pivotable jaw member includes a first electrical potential and the fixed jaw member includes a second electrical potential, wherein the second electrical potential is conducted to the fixed jaw member by a conductive tube disposed through the shaft. 12. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, wherein at least one jaw member of the pair of jaw members includes at least one stop member disposed thereon configured to regulate a distance between the pair of jaw members in the second position thereof. 13. The endoscopic forceps of claim 1, wherein the proximal movement of the distal stop compresses the spring against the proximal stop. 14. The endoscopic forceps of claim 13 wherein the compression of the spring imparts a closure force within a predetermined range to the at least one pivotable jaw member. 15. The endoscopic forceps of claim 14, wherein the predetermined range is about 3 kg/cm2 to about 16 kg/cm2.
