BENDABLE ENDOSCOPIC BIPOLAR DEVICE

摘要

An ablation device (100) for creating a lesion within a body includes a shaft (110) having a proximal end (112) and a distal end (114), wherein at least a portion (118) of the shaft is bendable to form a desired configuration. A clamp assembly (120) is secured to the distal end of the shaft. The clamp assembly has a first jaw and a second jaw, the second jaw moveable relative to the first jaw to open or close the clamp assembly. The ablation device also includes a first electrode (122) secured to the first jaw of the clamp assembly, a second electrode secured to the second jaw of the clamp assembly, and a handle (130) connected to the proximal end of the shaft.
