Devices for Electrosurgery
First Claim
1. A movable sheath adapted for use with a radiofrequency (RF) electrosurgical probe, comprising:
- a generally cylindrical plenum with an open first end and an open second end and of a diameter such that the open second end may be co-axially placed over the electrode end of an RF electrical probe, whereby the open first end extends beyond the electrode end of the RF electrical probe; and
a flexible polymeric fixation sleeve for securing the position of the generally cylindrical plenum to the RF electrosurgical probe.
