ABLATION PROBE SYSTEMS

Abstract: an ablation probe tip having a shaft with an insertion end . the shaft includes a coaxial antenna . a center of ablation is located within the shaft near the insertion end . a heat transfer layer surrounds the coaxial antenna . a thermal reservoir at least partially surrounds the heat transfer layer . a method for using the ablation probe tip includes predetermining an optimal temperature for the heat transfer layer , and the thermal reservoir cooling the heat transfer layer to no higher than the optimal temperature. the ablation probe tip may be part of an ablation probe system that includes an ablation source that provides ablation means to the ablation probe tip
