The present invention is directed to a bipolar electrosurgical end effector for use in medical instruments. A bipolar end effector according to the present invention includes a tissue slot and electrodes arranged on either side of the tissue slot. The opposing electrodes are electrically connected such that tissue passing through the slot is electrically treated with electrosurgical current passing laterally through the tissue. An end effector according to the present invention further includes a tissue separator arranged at the end of the slot to divide tissue as it is passed through the slot and after it is treated.
L'invention concerne un effecteur bipolaire, utile dans des instruments médicaux, et présentant une fente destinée à des tissus, ainsi que des électrodes agencées de chaque côté de la fente. Ces électrodes situées de manière opposée sont connectées électriquement de façon que les tissus passant à travers la fente soient traités électriquement au moyen du courant électrochirurgical traversant latéralement les tissus. L'effecteur de l'invention comporte en outre un dispositif de séparation de tissus, monté au niveau de l'extrémité de la fente, de manière à diviser les tissus lors de leur passage à travers la fente et après leur traitement.
