Electrode for radiofrequency tissue ablation
The present invention discloses an electrode for radiofrequency tissue ablation which can coagulate and necrotize a tissue by radiofrequency electric energy. The electrode for radiofrequency tissue ablation precisely coagulates and necrotizes a target part of the tissue by sensing a temperature of the tissue. The electrode includes a horn-shaped closed end sharpened to its one end, a hollow tube type electrode extended long in the length direction from the other end of the closed end, an insulation member installed on the outer circumference of the hollow electrode except for the part connected to the closed end, at least one temperature sensor installed on the outer circumference of the hollow electrode to be positioned inside the insulation member, for sensing an ambient temperature, and a control unit connected to the hollow electrode and the temperature sensor, for deciding coagulation and necrosis of the tissue according to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, and controlling the output supplied to the hollow electrode.
