Abstract:
Disclosed is a device positioner for guiding and positioning energy delivery devices during a surgical procedure. The energy delivery device positioner includes a body, a plurality of legs coupled to the body and a plurality of ribs connected to the body. The body includes a body facing surface and a plurality of device positioner apertures defined therein. The device positioner apertures are configured to receive an energy delivery device therethrough. The plurality of legs includes at least one foot extending beyond the patient facing surface of the body with the distal end of the foot configured to contact patient tissue and elevate the patient facing surface of the body such that the patient facing surface is spaced away from patient tissue. The plurality of ribs form one or more air flow aperture.
