1. An ablation device comprising:
- a handle assembly defining a longitudinal axis and including;
a first housing section;
a second housing section coupled to the first housing section and configured to slide relative to and within the first housing section; and
a third housing section coupled to the second housing section and configured to slide relative to and within the first and second housing sections, the second housing section slidably disposed between and relative to the first and third housing sections; and
an electrode assembly directly connected to the first housing section and extending distally through the first, second, and third housing sections, the electrode assembly having a longitudinal length that extends distally of a distal end of the third housing section such that proximal movement of at least one of the second housing section or the third housing section relative to the electrode assembly increases the longitudinal length that extends distally of the distal end of the third housing section.

Abstract
An ablation system is provided. The ablation system includes an ablation device having a handle assembly and an electrode assembly. The handle assembly includes a housing configured for operable engagement by a user. The electrode assembly includes a tubular electrode having an open proximal end and a closed distal end. The tubular electrode is movable relative to the housing to adjust an insertable length of the electrode assembly.
