ABSTRACT:
An electrode for use in an electrosurgical procedure for treating varicose veins. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode is characterized by a bare active sharpened tip portion at the end of a needle-shaped member capable of penetrating the vein of a patient. The vein-tissue damage is effected with the bare tip and the adjacent portions of the needle are made insulating to prevent accidental burns to the patient and to allow the physician to use these insulated parts to help position and guide the active tip portion during the surgical procedure.
