Abstract
An apparatus for generating an electric field has a plurality of elongate elements, the plurality of elongate elements including at least a first elongate element and a second elongate element. Each elongate element of the plurality of elongate elements has a proximal end, an opposed distal end and at least one stimulation zone. The plurality of elongate elements are coupled together at their respective proximal ends. The plurality of elongate elements are selectively moveable about and between a retracted position and a deployed position. In the retracted position, the respective distal ends of the first and second elongate elements are spaced by a first distance, and in the deployed position, the respective distal ends of the first and second elongate elements are spaced by a second distance that is greater than the first distance.
