ABSTRACT:
A cautery catheter is described having an expandable and electrically conductive mesh that can cauterize treatment sites having large effective surface areas. The mesh is composed of interwoven filaments which are aligned with the cautery catheter in an unexpanded state. Reorientation of the filaments of the mesh enables expansion of the mesh. When the expanded mesh contacts the desired treatment area, an electrocautery unit supplies electrical energy to the filaments of expanded mesh to cauterize the treatment site.
