1. A microwave assembly, comprising:
- a hub, the hub comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an input port and an output port;
a first insert, the first insert having a center hole;
a second insert;
the second insert having a center hole, and an end portion;
a first lumen path and a second lumen path concentrically oriented respective to each other and wherein the first lumen path is connected to the center hole of the first insert and the second lumen path is connected to the center hole of the second insert;
a handle, the handle functionally connected to a probe;
a first chamber defined by the first insert; and
a second chamber defined by the first insert and the second insert,wherein the first insert is inserted into the proximal end of the hub, the proximal end of the hub being adapted to receive the first insert, the second insert is inserted into the distal end of the hub, the hub adapted to receive the second insert, the first lumen path and the second lumen path extend through the center hole of the second insert and through the distal end of the hub, and the handle is inserted into the proximal end of the hub in abutting engagement with the first insert.

Abstract
Devices and methods for cooling microwave antennae and microwave hub construction are disclosed herein. The cooling system and hub can be utilized with a variety of microwave antenna types. A microwave hub is utilized to provide cooling fluids to a microwave antenna. The hub is constructed using no glue or adhesive for holding the different parts of the chambers in place. O-rings provide an increased reliability and consistency for fluid-tight seals in the hub. The various parts of the hub are form fitted and work together with the o-rings.
