SURGICAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. An surgical device, comprising:
- a longitudinal first leg having a first distal tip portion;
a longitudinal second leg having a second distal tip portion, the first leg pivotably coupled to the second leg, wherein the first and second legs are transitionable between a first position such that the first and second tip portions are spaced apart from each other and a second position where the first and second tip portions are proximate each other;
wherein the first tip portion includes a concave face and the second tip portion includes a convex face such that the first and second faces oppose each other in the first and second positions and touch each other in the second position;
wherein the convex face fits within the concave face in the second position.

Abstract
A surgical device includes a longitudinal first leg having a first distal tip portion pivotably coupled to a longitudinal second leg having a second distal tip portion. The first and second legs are transitionable between a first position such that the first and second tip portions are spaced apart from each other and a second position where the first and second tip portions are proximate each other. The first tip portion includes a concave face and the second tip portion includes a convex face configured such that the first and second faces oppose each other in the first and second positions and touch each other in the second position. The convex face fits within the concave face in the second position.

18. A bipolar electrosurgical forceps, comprising:
-
a longitudinal first leg having a first distal tip, wherein the first distal tip includes a first electrode and a first irrigational tube; a longitudinal second leg having a second distal tip, wherein the second distal tip includes a second electrode and a second irrigational tube; wherein the first leg is pivotably coupled to the second leg, and wherein the first and second legs are yieldably urged apart in a first position such that the first and second tips are spaced apart from each other and transitionable under force to a second position where the first and second tips are proximate each other; wherein the first electrode include a concave face and the second electrode includes a convex face such that the first and second faces oppose each other in the first and second positions and touch each other in the second position; wherein the convex face fits within the concave face in the second position. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
