Claims15
An electrosurgical instrument comprising:
- a. a first arm carrying a first and second electrode and an optional third electrode, wherein the first and second electrode are optionally two integrally formed discrete conductors;
- b. a second arm opposing the first arm, the second arm carrying one of nonconductor element or one or more conductive elements;
- wherein only one of the first electrode, second electrode, third electrode, or one or more conductive elements passes energy in a monopolar mode and at least two of the first electrode, second electrode, or one or more conductive elements pass energy in a bipolar mode.
An electrosurgical instrument comprising:
- a. a first arm carrying a first electrode;
- b. a second arm opposing the first arm, the second arm carrying a second electrode;
- wherein only one of the first electrode or second electrode passes energy in a monopolar mode and both of the first electrode and second electrode pass energy in a bipolar mode.
