Patent attributes
A surgical device for guiding electrodes into a tissue treatment region is disclosed. The surgical device includes electrodes configured to conduct current therebetween upon energizing at least one of the electrodes, a first body portion, and a second body portion. The first body portion and the second body portion are configured to operably form a first channel that extends along a first axis and a second channel that extends along a second axis. The surgical device further includes a predefined electrical ablation distance defined between the first axis and the second axis and a spring positioned between the first body portion and the second body portion. The spring is deformable between a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the first channel is configured to open to receive one of the electrodes when the spring is in the first configuration. The first channel is configured to close and axially restrain the electrode received therein when the spring is in the second configuration.
