Feedback light apparatus and method for use with an electrosurgical instrument

An electrosurgical apparatus comprising:

• first and second moveable jaws, each jaw including a tissue contacting surface in face-to-face relation with the tissue contacting surface of the other jaw;
• said grasping jaws-being-relatively movable for grasping tissue between said tissue contacting surfaces;
• said tissue contacting surfaces of said jaws comprising an insulating material;
• a first and second electrode housed within said first moveable jaw and said second moveable jaw, respectively, wherein said first and second electrodes are connectable to a first circuit for providing an electrical current between said first and second electrodes;
• and
• a feedback light, wherein said feedback light is positioned on said first moveable jaw, wherein said feedback light is connectable to a first lead, a second lead, and a toroid, wherein said second lead is wound around said toroid, whereby forming a second circuit, wherein a third lead of said first circuit passes through said toroid, whereby facilitating inductive coupling between said first circuit and said second circuit, whereby lighting said feedback light.
