Abstract
An electrosurgical medical device and technique for creating thermal welds in engaged tissue that provides very high compressive forces. The working end comprises five basic components, including (i) a handle portion coupled to an introducer sleeve member that carries paired first and second jaws members at it distal end; (ii) an actuatable elongate member that transitions distally to first and second extension portions that carry respective first and second slidable cam-type surfaces for engaging the paired jaws; (iii) a transverse member that is connected to the first and second extension portions for adjusting the transverse dimension between the first and second slidable cam surfaces to thereby control clamping pressure; (iv) a mechanism in the handle for actuating the elongate member to open and close the jaws; and (v) a mechanism in the handle for adjusting the transverse dimension between the first and second cam surfaces via the transverse member.
