Abstract:
An ablation needle apparatus (10) for delivering ablation energy (20) to a subject (40) comprising a hypotube with a proximal and distal end and having a hollow lumen, including a puncture member and a first electrode disposed at the distal end of the hypotube; a second electrode disposed within the hollow lumen; and a first ring member disposed about the second electrode and slidably holding the second electrode apart from the first electrode; wherein the first ring member comprises a semipermeable structure that allows for the passage of a gas and resists the passage of a liquid from the distal end to the proximal end of the hypotube.
