An endoscopic bipolar forceps includes a housing and a shaft affixed to the housing. The shaft includes a longitudinal axis defined therethrough and a pair of jaw members attached to a distal end thereof. The forceps also includes a drive assembly for moving one of the jaw members relative to the other jaw member from a first position wherein the movable jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to each other to a second position wherein the jaw members are closer one another 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 form the open and closed positions. The pivot is located a fixed distance from the longitudinal axis and the drive flange is located generally along the longitudinal axis. The forceps is connected to a source of electrosurgical energy connected to each jaw member such that the jaw member are capable of conducting bipolar energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a tissue seal.

Cette invention concerne une pince bipolaire endoscopique comprenant un boîtier auquel est fixée une tige. La tige présente un axe longitudinal et une paire de mâchoires fixées à son extrémité distale. La pince comporte également un élément entraînement permettant de déplacer une des mâchoires par rapport à l'autre, depuis une première position dans laquelle les mâchoires sont ouvertes sur une seconde positon où elles sont rapprochés pour la manipulation de tissus. Un poignée mobile tournant sur un pivot permet d'amener son flasque d'entraînement en coopération mécanique avec l'ensemble entraînement pour déplacer les mâchoires à partir des positions d'ouverture et de fermeture. Le pivot est situé à une distance fixe de l'axe longitudinal et le flasque d'entraînement se trouve généralement le long de cet axe. La pince est raccordée à une source d'énergie électrochirurgicale connectée à chaque mâchoire de sorte que ces dernière peuvent transmettre une énergie bipolaire aux tissus qu'ils maintiennent dans le but de réaliser un joint tissulaire.
