Abstract

A method of manufacturing a surgical antenna includes bonding a trocar screw and a conductor together and overmolding the trocar screw with a puck material to form a puck assembly. A trocar is coupled to the trocar screw, which forms a distal radiating section, and a proximal antenna member is coupled to the puck assembly, which forms a proximal radiating section.
