Abstract: An ablation instrument having a longitudinal body with a plurality of sidewalls that form a flexible sleeve, where the plurality of sidewalls that form the flexible sleeve are slotless. The longitudinal body has a proximal end, a distal end, and a central axis. A luminary space is formed within the plurality of sidewalls and at least one internal component is inserted through the proximal end of the longitudinal body and extends through the luminary space to the distal end. The internal component is interconnected with a deflection mechanism for controlling the distal end of the longitudinal body such that the distal end is capable of multi-planar movement.
