Abstract
An electrosurgical device includes an elongated body including a proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinal axis, at least one arm coupled to the distal end of the elongated body and an electrode coupled to at least one arm. The electrode includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface is substantially convex and defines a radius of curvature relative to an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
