Zusammenfassung:A surgical instrument is configured to consist of two separable parts. The first part includes a disposable end effector unit, including an electrosurgical end effector and mechanical drive componentry. The second part includes a reusable electronics unit, containing the RF electronic circuitry of the instrument. A user-releasable complementary interface is provided on each part, allowing the parts to be connected in use. Providing a division of components in this manner improves the sterility of the device, providing easier cleaning of the reusable part of the instrument.
