Abstract:
A tissue pad is disclosed including a first component and a second component. The first component includes a first material and a first tissue engaging surface and the second component includes a second material and a second tissue engaging surface. The first component has proximal and distal ends and the second component has proximal and distal ends. The first and second components are separable. At least a portion of a distal end of the first tissue engaging surface is positioned distal relative to the second tissue engaging surface. The first material is different from the second material. The first material has a greater lubricity than the second material. The second material has a greater resistance to heat than the first material.
