Abstract

A system for applying radiofrequency energy to tissue comprising a probe, an energy-delivery surface, and an energy source. The energy-delivery surface is elastomeric with an electrically conductive knit component. The energy-delivery surface can be expanded within an interior of a patient's body to engage tissue and energy delivered from the source through the expanded surface.
