Patent abstract
Bipolar surgical forceps having argon plasma coagulation capability are shown. The surgical forceps include in their body a channel for receiving a flexible tube having a wire within it. The flexible tubing and wire within it are connected to a generator that provides electrical energy to the wire and argon or other inert gas to the tube. The flexible tubing travels a portion of the length of the forceps and ends with a coaxial connector in the proximity of the points of the scissors. An argon plasma coagulation sleeve is placed on the point of one or both limbs of the forceps and is connected to the flexible tubing and wire through the coaxial connector.
