Abstract
An ablation probe (), comprising: an applicator () arranged to apply radiation to heat surrounding tissue; a feeding cable () arranged to supply electromagnetic energy to the applicator. The feeding cable comprises a distal portion () and a proximal portion (). The distal portion of the feeding cable has a distal cross sectional size and the proximal portion of the feeding cable has a proximal cross sectional size, wherein the distal cross sectional size is less that the proximal cross sectional size. The ablation probe further comprises a connector () arranged to mechanically and electrically couple the distal portion () of the feeding cable () to the proximal portion () of the feeding cable (). The connector comprises a joining member () comprising a proximal end () shaped to receive an end of the proximal portion () of the feeding cable and a distal end () shaped to receive an end of the distal portion () of the feeding cable.
