Claim Text:
1. A method for treating a tissue, the method comprising: selecting a primary geometry having a conductor disposed thereon, the conductor having a ferromagnetic coating disposed on and in electrically conductive communication with a portion of the conductor, wherein the conductor extends and is configured to facilitate a current flowing from a position prior to the ferromagnetic coating, along the ferromagnetic coating, and to a position beyond the ferromagnetic coating, and wherein the ferromagnetic coating has a thickness of between 1 micrometers and 50 micrometers; disposing the ferromagnetic coating into contact with the tissue; and delivering an oscillating electrical signal to the conductor so as to heat the ferromagnetic coating and form a ferromagnetic heated region, and heating the tissue with the ferromagnetic coating.
