A laceration device for use in medical procedures includes a shaft having opposed proximal and distal portions. A clamp extends from the distal portion. The clamp has ftrst and second clamp arms. The clamp is movable between an open and closed positions. In the open position, the first clamp arm is spaced apart from the second clamp arm. In the closed position, the first clamp arm is moved towards the second clamp arm. A clamp actuator is connected to the clamp via the shaft and is manipulatable to move the clamp between the open and closed positions. A radiofrequency electrode (RF) is associated with the fast clamp arm. The RF electrode has a first perforation surface that is positioned to face the second clamp arm when the clamp is in the closed position. An electrical connector extends proximally from the RF electrode for connection to a power source.
