Abstract
There is provided a bipolar forceps for endoscopes that includes a clevis, two shafts, and two end effectors. The clevis has two arms that form a slot between them. The shafts are sustained between the two arms spaced apart from each other. Each of the end effectors is pivotably attached to a different one of the two shafts, respectively, such that the end effectors are able to move in a scissor-like action. The end effectors being made of conductive material. Thus the end effectors can be utilized as electrodes for applying a high frequency voltage between them.
