Abstract
A set of instruments is described which enables variability in the size and shape of the region of destructive, radio frequency heating (lesion making) of tissue within the living body, and which enables this variability with only one insertion tract into the body up to the region of the targeted tissue. The set of instruments comprises an entrance cannula with a through-opening along its length and with the through-opening being front-facing at the cannula's distal end, a straight lesion electrode which telescopes into said cannula such that the exposed metal tip of the electrode can extend beyond the distal tip of the cannula by a variable amount, and an off-axis-tipped electrode that also telescopes into the cannula so that its uninsulated tip emerges from the cannula's distal end in an off-axis direction. The bare tips of these electrodes can be raised to a radio frequency (rf) potential by connections on electrode's hubs, this rf potential causing the tissue to heat around the tip. Thus, the surgeon has the option, once the cannula is inserted, of: (i) making a straight lesion volume of variable dimension out the end of the cannula using the straight electrode, or; (ii) enlarging the lesion off-axis in any direction or by any distance using the off-axis electrode. Similar straight or off-axis recording electrodes could be used in place of the above lesion electrodes to record electrical activity of the targeted tissue before or after lesion making.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
