1. A spot coagulating and occluding apparatus, comprising:

  • an elongated tubular member extending along a central longitudinal axis to define a lumen and having a distal end and a proximal end disposed opposite the distal end;

    a pair of occluding fingers projecting generally longitudinally from the distal end of the tubular member in a facially-opposing relationship, each one of the pair of occluding fingers terminating in an occluding end effector with the occluding end effectors being movable relative to one another to and between an opened state wherein the occluding end effectors are spaced apart from one another and a closed state wherein the occluding end effectors are one of adjacent to and in contact with one another;

    a central channel running through said tubular member between the pair of occluding fingers and opening outward between said end effectors;

    whereby a proximal end of the tubular member is operative in conjunction with the occluding fingers to move the occluding end effectors to and between the opened and closed states.
