The ornamental design for a monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument in accordance with the present design, wherein the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument is retracted relative to environmental structure.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged, perspective view of a distal end portion of the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument, wherein the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument is retracted relative to environmental structure.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument in accordance with the present design, wherein the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument is extended relative to environmental structure; and,

FIG. 4 is an enlarged, perspective view of the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument, wherein the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument is extended relative to environmental structure.

Portions of the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument of the present design not shown in FIGS. 1-4 form no part of the claimed design.

The broken lines shown in FIGS. 1-4 illustrate portions of the monopolar assembly of a multi-function surgical instrument that form no part of the claimed design.
