- the present teachings are directed toward e!ectrosurgica! instrument connectivity systems. Such systems are generally those associated with electrosurgical forceps and more specifically, with combination monopo!ar/bipoSar eiecirosurgicai forceps.
- the electrosurgical instruments which are associated with the connectivity systems may be any device that is used by a surgeon to perform a surgical procedure.
- the eiectrosurgica! device may be used to cut, perform hemostasis, coagulate, desiccate, fulgurate, electrocauterize, or any combination thereof.

- the connectivity systems described herein are preferably utilized in eithe open or laparoscopic surgery as opposed to solely laparoscopic procedures.
- the connectivity systems are preferably utilized with combination monopoiar/bipolar devices.
- the connectivity systems may b designed so that one or more conductors associated with either a monopolar or bipolar plug are integrated with other conductors to form common conductors that provide the functionality of both of the integrated conductors.

- a bipolar HF lead may share a common line with a monopolar HF lead,
- the connectivity may also be modified so thai the monopolar conductors provide only one of cut or coag functionaiity. As a result, the connectivity would ai.i.ow for one monopolar switch and one bipolar switch (as opposed to one bipolar switch and two monopolar switches).

- Each of the monopolar switch return ieads may be selected from monopolar cut switch return Ieads or monopoiar coag switch return leads.
- the connectivity system may include only one monopolar switch return lead, which may be one of a cuf switch return lead or coag switch return lead. Thus the functionality of the electrosurgica! device may be reduced in that oniy cut or oniy coag capability may be present in monopoiar mode.
- one or more of the conductors discussed above may have a shared connectivity !ines with other conductors to reduce the cable complexity
- one or more HF leads may share a line (e.g., may be integrated) with one or more other HF leads or one or more switch return leads.

- a bipolar switch return lead may be common with a monopolar switch return lead.
- the bipolar switch return lead may be common with either of the monopoiar switch return leads. Such an arrangement would reduce the number of lines by one and may be combined with other arrangements discussed herein to reduce the number of lines by two.
- one or more HF ieads may be common and one or more switch return ieads whiie only monopoiar functionality is present (cut only or coag oniy).
- the number of lines may be reduced by three,
- the electrosurgicai devices for which the connectivity systems described herein may be applicable include electrosurgica! forceps.
