Abstract
An ablation probe () suitable for insertion through the working channel of an intraluminal delivery device comprises an applicator () arranged to apply radiation to heat surrounding tissue. The probe also comprises a feeding cable () arranged to supply electromagnetic energy to the applicator (). The probe further comprises a first coolant flow path (). There is also a deformable member () arranged to move between an insertion configuration in which insertion of the probe is facilitated and a deployed configuration. A second coolant path (), via which coolant is able to flow, is provided by the deformable member () when in the deployed configuration. The probe further comprises a tube arranged to house a distal portion of the feeding cable, and the deformable member surrounds at least part of the tube, and the tube is formed from an elastic material.
