Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of manufacturing an end effector for a surgical instrument includes providing a substrate wherein at least an outer periphery of the substrate is formed from an electrically-insulative material. The method further includes forming at least one ridge on the outer periphery of the substrate and depositing an electrically-conductive material onto the at least one ridge to form at least one electrode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing an end effector for a surgical instrument, comprising: providing a substrate, at least an outer periphery of the substrate formed from an electrically-insulative material; forming at least one ridge on the substrate; forming a reservoir within the substrate adjacent each side of the at least one ridge; and depositing an electrically-conductive material onto the at least one ridge such that the electrically-conductive material…
