Abstract
An ablation apparatus has an introducer including an introducer lumen, a proximal portion and a distal portion. A handpiece with a proximal portion and a distal portion is coupled to the introducer proximal portion. Two or more electrodes are at least partially positioned in the introducer lumen. Each electrode is configured to be advanced from the introducer distal portion in a deployed state into a selected tissue site to define a volumetric ablation volume. A fluid delivery member is positioned on at least a portion of an exterior of one of the electrodes. The fluid delivery member is configured to be coupled to a fluid medium source. A cable is coupled to the electrodes.
