Abstract

A tissue penetrating probe includes a distal tissue piercing end; a first electrode; a second electrode; and a dielectric element. A proximal end of the dielectric element is bonded to a distal end of the first electrode and a distal end of the dielectric element is bonded to a proximal end of the second electrode. The dielectric element is formed of a composite material including a fiber braid within a polymeric material.
