and 004 said jaw elements are in operational association with a single hinge 005 and can lock into one another by positive locking mechanism enabled by mated protrusions and depressions corresponding to protrusion 006 and depression 007 along respective inner surface of each adjacent arm in pair this mechanism ensures that when motion is delivered at the hinge at all times a specific combination of arms moves together fig3 illustrates magnified view of the four jawed tip of the laparoscopic instrument proposed by the present invention as illustrated therein the four jawed tip 000 is key novel feature of the present invention capable of performance between both cutting and grasping functionalities via actuation of controller 008 fig4 a b c and 5 a b c are schematic representation of inter play between two jaw pairs when in grasping and cutting configurations respectively when viewed from its tip with the tool being oriented such that its hinge 005 hosting the jaw elements 001 002 003 and 004 is parallel to the floor horizontal locking of jaw 001 with 004 and jaw 002 with 003 respectively to each other results in grasper configuration of the tool in same orientation locking of the left side jaws 003 and 004 and right side jaws 001 and 002 respectively to each other results in the scissor configuration of the tool 000 fig6 a b c are front perspective and back views of jaw element 002 004 of the laparoscopic instrument 000 it may be seen that 010 is a depression into which the extension 021 illustrated later in fig7 a enters while the instrument is in the scissor configuration generally referring to fig6 to 17 it may be seen.
