Vessel sealing with fine dissection function

An electrosurgical forceps, comprising:

• a first elongated shaft member including a proximal end portion having a first handle member including a spring connector and a distal end portion including a first jaw member having a first tissue contacting surface;
• a second elongated shaft member including a proximal end having a second handle member and a distal end portion including a second jaw member having a second tissue contacting surface;
• at least one of the first or second handle members movable relative to the other between an open position, a first approximated position where the first and second tissue contacting surfaces are diametrically opposed to one other, and a second approximated position where the first and second tissue contacting surfaces are laterally offset from one other;
• and
• a handle connector assembly including a housing removably attachable to the second handle member, the handle connector assembly configured to communicate electrosurgical energy between the first and second tissue contacting surfaces when the first and second handle members are disposed in the first approximated position, the housing including a U-shaped channel defined therein configured to receive the spring connector of the first handle member, the spring connector configured to ride within the U-shaped channel upon approximation of the first and second handle members.
