| Title: | ABLATION PROBE WITH RIBBED INSULATED SHEATH | |||||||||||
| Abstract: | A tissue ablation probe comprises an electrically conductive probe shaft, at least one electrode, and an electrically insulative sheath disposed on the probe shaft, the sheath having thickened regions forming alternating ribs and depressions extending longitudinally along the probe shaft to allow the ablation probe to be delivered through a tightly toleranced delivery device. While the ribs may shear off during the delivery process, the underlying probe shaft remains covered by the remaining portion of the insulative sheath. The tissue ablation probe may be removably disposed in a delivery cannula, the sheath having an outer periphery having a size substantially the same as the diameter of the delivery cannula lumen, with the inner surface of the delivery cannula cooperating with the depressions to create lumens that longitudinally extend within the cannula. | |||||||||||
