Abstract
An electrosurgical forceps includes a shaft having a pair of jaw members at a distal end movable about a pivot from a first position disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members are closer to one another for grasping tissue. A movable handle actuates the shaft to move the jaw members relative to one another. One or both jaw members are capable of conducting electrical energy to tissue held therebetween. An insulating boot is disposed on at least a portion of an exterior surface of one or both jaw members about the pivot and at a distal end of the shaft. The insulating boot includes an overmolded thermoplastic clevis disposed on an inner periphery thereof configured to enhance mechanical engagement of the insulating boot with the one or both jaw members and the distal end of the shaft.
