Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022155334A1] An ablation device includes a probe body, a distal face covering a distal end of the probe body and defining a central aperture, a distal tip extending through the central aperture in sealing relation therewith, and a sensing probe. The distal tip extends from a proximal end within an interior volume of the probe body to a distal end distally-spaced therefrom and defines a lumen. The sensing probe is sealed within the lumen and extends from within the interior volume distally through a portion of the lumen to a position proximally-spaced from the distal end of the distal tip. A portion of the sensing probe is exposed within an unoccupied volume of the lumen defined between the sensing probe and the distal end of the distal tip to enable direct contact between the exposed portion of the sensing probe and tissue extending into the unoccupied volume.
