Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrosurgical system for directing energy to tissue includes a generator assembly operable to supply power having a selected phase, amplitude and frequency, and an applicator array assembly. The applicator array assembly includes a shell assembly, a plurality of energy applicators disposed within the shell assembly, and a power divider unit electrically coupled to the generator assembly. The power divider unit is operable to divide power into the applicator array assembly.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing an electromagnetic energy delivery device, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of coaxial cables, each having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric material disposed therebetween; forming a plurality of first applicator segments by joining an electrically-conductive member to a distal end of the inner conductor of each of the plurality of coaxial cables; forming a plurality of second applicator segm…
