The Multifunction Endoscopic Instrument is a single patient use device, which is a combination scissors and bipolar coagulator-grasper. It is intended for use in canjunction with presently employed 5-10mm trocar cannulae. The instrument grasping and cutting functions are operated easily using one hand. The device is indicated for use in a variety of open and minimally invasive procedures. It is designed to facilitate grasping, mobilization, dissection, coagulation and transection of tissue. The grasping and cutting functions of the distal end are accomplished by employing three elements. - A central stationary member serves as both a scissors blade and a forceps jaw. - A separate scissors blade and a forceps jaw are attached to the some that they can be independently pivoted to open and close thereby performing the cutting and grasping functions. - The pivoting scissors blade and forceps jaw are connected to the handle and actuated via linkages.
