Patent ID: 7549991

Claim:
A surgical device comprising: a shaft defining an axis and having a distal end and a proximal end; a first elongated electrode connected to said distal end of said shaft at a first pivot point, said first elongated electrode being pivotable at said first pivot point from a first configuration of said first electrode, wherein said first electrode is generally coaxially aligned with said axis, to a second configuration of said first electrode, wherein said first electrode is generally perpendicular relative to said axis; and a second elongated electrode connected to said distal end of said shaft at a second pivot point, said second elongated electrode being pivotable at said second pivot point from a first configuration of said second electrode, wherein said second electrode is generally coaxially aligned with said axis, to a second configuration of said second electrode, wherein said second electrode is generally perpendicular relative to said axis, said first elongated electrode being displaceable relative to said second elongated electrode in a radial direction with respect to said axis of said shaft.
