CONFORMAL PAD FOR NEUROSURGERY AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A medical device and method for thermally affecting tissue are provided. The device includes a fluid inlet conduit a fluid outlet conduit and a shapeable body operatively connected to the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet conduit. The shapeable body defines a tissue contact region and the shapeable body has a height, a length, and a width in which the height is less than the length and the width. The shapeable body further includes a first channel and a second channel which are substantially parallel from the proximal end of the shapeable body to the distal end of the shapeable body and which are in fluid communication. The shapeable body further has a malleable conformation such that the body retains a first shape until manipulated to a second shape.
