Shaft Constructions for Medical Devices with an Articulating Tip

摘要: An endoscopic surgical instrument for sealing tissue includes an end effector having a pair of jaw members adapted to connect source electrosurgical energy. At least one member is movable relative the other between open configuration and closed grasping tissue. A handle induce motion in configurations. elongated shaft defines longitudinal axis coupled handle. The plurality links arranged such that neighboring engage another across edges maintain aligned with respect axis. Each spaced laterally from may pivot about rotational move articulated configuration.
