Apparatus for delivery of energy to a surgical site

An apparatus for delivering energy to a surgical site from an energy source, comprising:

• a handle;
• an actuator movably coupled to the handle to move from a first position to a second position;
• a shaft including a proximal end, a deflectable portion and an energy delivery portion, and the proximal end of the shaft coupled to the handle and the energy delivery portion coupled to the energy source for delivery of energy to the surgical site;
• a deflection wire including a proximal portion and a distal portion, and the distal portion fixed to the shaft, and the proximal portion affixed to the actuator, and a movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position moving the deflection wire to produce a deflection of the deflectable portion;
• a sensor positioned adjacent the energy delivery portion of the shaft to provide a signal indicating an amount of energy delivered from the energy source to surgical site;
• and
• a feedback control module coupled to the sensor and to the energy source, and the feedback control module including a logic responsive to the signal for adjusting a level of energy delivered from the energy source to the energy delivery portion of the shaft.
