Abstract
A probe that is particularly usable as a radio frequency ablation probe and comprises an inner cooling in order to keep the at least one electrode at the tissue wet and to avoid excessive heating. In the area of the electrode the hose wall of the hose supporting the electrode comprises an increased heat conductivity, whereas apart from that it has a comparably low heat conductivity outside of the electrode carrying distal end section. The increase of the heat conductivity in the distal end section can be achieved by reduction of the wall thickness, by selection of a suitable plastic, by arrangement of heat transfer bodies in the hose wall or by a combination of two or more of these features.
