Cordless medical cauterization and cutting device
First Claim
1. A cordless Radio-Frequency (RF) surgical device, comprising:
- a handle including a handle body and an aseptically sealable compartment;
a shaft extending distally from the handle body;
an end effector extending from a distal portion of the shaft, the end effector including first and second jaws relatively movable between an open position and a closed position to grasp tissue, and first and second bipolar contacts associated with the first and second jaws;
an RF generator sealed within the handle body, the RF generator including an RF signal-generating circuit and a control circuit configured to control an output of the RF signal-generating circuit, the output of the RF signal-generating circuit electrically coupled to the first and second bipolar contacts and configured to supply bipolar RF energy to first and second bipolar contacts for conduction between the first and second jaws to treat grasped tissue; and
a battery configured for removable receipt within the aseptically sealable compartment, wherein the battery is electrically coupled to the RF generator when received within aseptically sealable compartment to enable the battery to power the RF generator.

Abstract
An end effector assembly for a forceps includes jaws, a cutting assembly, and at least one cam assembly. At least one jaw is moveable relative to the other about a pivot between open and closed positions for grasping tissue. At least one jaw includes a control trough that extends therealong. The pivot has first and second pivot bosses defining a pivot hole therebetween. The cutting assembly includes a blade and blade control portion, and defines a longitudinal axis through the blade and the control portion. The control portion slidably translates through the pivot hole defined between the pivot bosses to allow selective advancement thereof through the trough. The blade is disposed distally of the pivot and extends farther from the axis than an outer surface of the control portion. The cam assembly is coupled to the moveable jaw and is actuatable to move the movable jaw between the positions.
