1. A multipurpose electrosurgical device comprising:
- a handle;
a first arm and a second arm extending distally from the handle, the first and second arms laterally spaced from one another to provide a gap between the first and second arms;
an end effector rotatably coupled to the first and second arms;
wherein the end effector comprises bipolar and monopolar electrode ends; and
wherein the end effector is configured to rotate such that the bipolar and monopolar electrode ends are rotatable with respect to the first and second arms to selectively configure the device in a bipolar mode and a monopolar mode.

Abstract
A multipurpose electrosurgical device and methods of use are disclosed. In one example, device includes a handpiece and an end effector having a monopolar electrode and a pair of bipolar electrodes. The end effector is coupled to the handpiece and selectively transitionable relative to the handpiece from a first position to a second position. The first position includes the bipolar electrodes extending distally from the device and the monopolar electrode is spaced from a distal end portion of the device. The second position includes the monopolar electrode extending distally and the bipolar electrodes are spaced from a distal end portion of the device.

27. A method of selectively configuring an electrosurgical device for use in a bipolar and a monopolar mode comprising:
-
configuring the device in a bipolar mode by rotating an end effector rotatably coupled to first and second arms extending distally from a handle of the device to position a bipolar end of the end effector such that the bipolar end extends distally from the handle and a monopolar end of the end effector is at least partially received within an open space between the first and second arms; and configuring the device in a monopolar mode by rotating the end effector to position the monopolar end of the end effector such that the monopolar end extends distally from the handle and the bipolar end is at least partially received within the open space; wherein rotating the end effector comprises rotating the end effector by hand. - View Dependent Claims (28)
