Abstract
An ablation probe (1; 100; 200), comprising: an applicator (2; 102; 202) arranged to apply radiation to heat surrounding tissue; a feeding cable (4; 104; 204) arranged to supply electromagnetic energy to the applicator. The feeding cable comprises a distal portion (2a, 202a) and a proximal portion (2b; 202b). The distal portion of the feeding cable has a distal cross sectional size and the proximal portion of the feeding cable has a proximal cross sectional size, wherein the distal cross sectional size is less that the proximal cross sectional size. The ablation probe further comprises a connector (24; 224) arranged to mechanically and electrically couple the distal portion (2a, 202a) of the feeding cable (2; 202) to the proximal portion (2b; 202b) of the feeding cable (2; 202). The connector comprises a joining member (12) comprising a proximal end (12b) shaped to receive an end of the proximal portion (2b; 2b) of the feeding cable and a distal end (12a) shaped to receive an end of the distal portion (2a; 202a) of the feeding cable.
