Abstract
An electrosurgical instrument includes a housing having an elongated shaft extending therefrom and a rotatable member disposed on the housing and operably connected to the elongated shaft. The elongated shaft defines a longitudinal axis extending therealong. The rotatable member is configured to rotate the elongated shaft about the longitudinal axis upon actuation thereof. The rotatable member includes an inner surface defining an interior space therein configured to house at least one printed circuit board about the elongated shaft.

An electrosurgical instrument, comprising:
- a housing having an elongated shaft extending therefrom, the elongated shaft defining a longitudinal axis extending therealong;
- a rotatable member disposed on the housing and operably connected to the elongated shaft, the rotatable member configured to rotate the elongated shaft about the longitudinal axis upon actuation thereof, the rotatable member including an inner surface defining an interior space therein configured to house at least one printed circuit board about the elongated shaft.
An electrosurgical instrument, comprising:
- a housing having an elongated shaft extending therefrom, the elongated shaft including a proximal end portion and a laterally-oriented slot disposed in the proximal end portion;
- a rotatable assembly disposed on the housing and operably connected to the elongated shaft, the rotatable assembly including:
- at least one protrusion configured to engage the slot disposed in the proximal end portion of the elongated shaft;
- and
- a rotatable member including an inner surface defining an interior space therein configured to house at least one printed circuit board about the elongated shaft, wherein the elongated shaft passes through the interior space of the rotatable member and extends distally therefrom;
- and
- at least one printed circuit board disposed within the rotatable member about the elongated shaft.
