ABSTRACT:
The invention provides exemplary electrosurgical probes and methods for their use. In one exemplary embodiment, an electrosurgical probe comprises a probe body having a proximal end, a distal end and at least one lumen. An electrode assembly is operably coupled to the distal end. The electrode assembly includes an electrode and a jacket disposed to cover at least a portion of the electrode. The jacket and the electrode have a combined mass sufficient to dissipate heat during operation of the electrode so that the electrode does not experience material degradation. Further, the jacket provides insulation between the electrode and a conductive medium such that the electrode is operable in the conductive medium.
