Abstract:
An electrosurgical device includes a first electrode tip connected to a first shaft and spaced from a second electrode tip connected to a second shaft. The first electrode tip serves as a first pole, and the second electrode tip serves as a second pole, of a bipolar electrode configuration. A first fluid outlet opening is defined by a distal end of the first shaft and a portion of the first electrode tip. A second fluid outlet opening is defined by a distal end of the second shaft and a portion of the second electrode tip. At least one recess can be formed in an exterior surface of each of the first and the second electrode tips, providing a fluid flow channel for fluid to flow distally along the respective electrode tip.
