Claim 0:
1. An electrosurgical handpiece for performing surgery, comprising:
a first body part slidably engaged with a second body part;
an electrode connected to the first body part;
a first upper rigid member connected to the first body part at a first pivot;
a second upper rigid member connected to the second body part at a second pivot,
wherein the first upper rigid member is connected to the second upper rigid member at a fulcrum disposed above the first and second pivots;
a back grip extending from the second pivot to which the second upper rigid member is connected;
a finger grip section extending from the first pivot to which the first upper rigid member is connected;
a lower malleable, region, wherein: a first end of the lower malleable region connects to a further-most end of the back grip at an end of the back grip that is spaced from and opposite to another end of the back grip that is proximate to the second pivot; and
a second end of the lower malleable region connects to the finger grip section at a further-most end of the finger grip section that is spaced from and opposite to another end of finger grip section that is proximate to the first pivot; wherein the lower malleable region is more elastic than the first upper rigid member, second upper rigid member, back grip, and finger grip section;
wherein the first and second upper rigid members both rotate about the fulcrum and about the first and second pivots when the lower malleable region is actuated such that both first and second body parts move toward one another during actuation.
