Claim 0:
1. An energy delivery member for endometrial ablation, comprising:
an elastomeric wall defining an interior chamber therein, the wall extending about a longitudinal axis and being stretchable between a non-tensioned shape and an expanded tensioned shape;
wherein the wall in the non-tensioned shape has apices at distal corners thereof and wherein the distal corners have thicknesses greater than the thicknesses of other portions of the wall; and
wherein the interior chamber is configured to contain a neutral gas which has been ionized into a conductive plasma having a voltage sufficient to capacitively couple a current in the plasma across the elastomeric wall and into endometrial tissue engaged by an external surface of the elastomeric wall.
