Combo device-sealer-transcollator-cutter-disector-tissue manipulator

An electrosurgical forceps device, comprising:

• a first arm having a first distal end;
• a second arm having a second distal end, the first arm and the second arm being pivotally coupled together;
• the first arm including a first electrode at the first distal end;
• the second arm including a second electrode at the second distal end, the first electrode and the second electrode being configured to deliver bipolar radiofrequency energy to the tissue;
• and
• a scissors assembly movably coupled to at least a portion of the first arm and at least a portion of the second arm.

• a second arm having a second distal end, the first arm and the second arm being pivotally coupled together;
• the first arm including a first electrode at the first distal end;
• the second arm including a second electrode at the second distal end, the first electrode and the second electrode being configured to deliver bipolar radiofrequency energy to the tissue configured to at least one of resect and coagulate tissue;
• the device being transitionable between a first configuration, in which the first arm and the second arm are configured to grasp tissue between the first end and the second end, and a second configuration, in which at least one of the first arm and the second arm defines scissors configured to mechanically cut tissue;
• at least one of the first arm and the second arm defines a recess configured to receive a corresponding protrusion on the opposite one of the at least one of the first arm and the second arm;
• an electrical connector coupled to the proximal ends of both of the first arm and the second arm, the electrical connector being configured to electrically couple with a radio frequency generator;
• at least one moveable finger grip disposed on at least one the first arm and the second arm, wherein movement of the at least one moveable finger grip causes the transition of the device from the first configuration to the second configuration, and when the movable finger grip is in a first position the distal portion of the first arm is locked in a position away from the second arm, and wherein when the moveable finger grip is in a second position the distal portion of the first arm is in contact with the second arm. the first arm includes a proximal portion, a distal portion and a hinge there between, and wherein the distal portion is pivotable with respect to the proximal portion;
• and
• at least one of the first arm and the second arm defines a fluid pathway therein and a port configured to release a fluid from the fluid pathway.
