Abstract
An electrosurgical system comprising: a handpiece including: a first and second power connector; and one or more moveable members having a first and second position; and an activation circuit having a first and second switch state, wherein the activation circuit in the first switch state does not allow either a first or second electrosurgical therapy signal to exit the handpiece; wherein in the second switch state, and the one or more moveable members in the first position, the activation circuit allows the first electrosurgical therapy signal to exit the handpiece so that a first therapy current extends between the first and second power connectors, and wherein in the second switch state, and the one or more moveable members in the second position, the second electrosurgical therapy signal exits the handpiece so that a second therapy current extends between the first power connector and the second power connector.
