<p>An electrode is disclosed for use in a system for heating biological tissue via RF energy. The electrode comprises a plurality of electrically conductive pins projecting from, and in electrical contact with, an electrically conductive common base. The base is connectible to a source of RF energy and the spaced ends of the pins remote from the base have contact regions for introducing RF energy from the source into the biological tissue. Each contact region is sufficiently small to achieve uniform dielectric heating in the biological tissue beneath the contact region at the frequency of the applied RF energy.</p> |
