Abstract

VESSEL SEALING INSTRUMENT Abstract A bipolar electrosurgical instrument, comprising first and second shafts (12a, 12b) each having a jaw member (110, 120) moveable relative to one another in response to movement of the first and second shafts relative to one another. The jaws members moveable between an open position such that the jaw members are disposed in a spaced relation relative to one another and a closed position such that the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. Each jaw member is configured to selectively conduct electrosurgical energy through the grasped tissue to effect a tissue seal. A switch (50) disposed on the first shaft selectively depressible to a first depressed position and a second depressed position beyond the first depressed position upon biasing engagement with the second shaft upon movement of the jaw members from the open position to the closed position. The switch configured to generate a first response when the switch is depressed to the first position and a second response when the switch is depressed to the second position.
