Patent ID: 8257413

Claim:
An energy delivery device comprising: an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end; a plurality of energy delivery elements disposed at the distal end of the elongate body, wherein the energy delivery elements comprise expandable legs that are configured to contact a wall of an airway in an expanded radial configuration; at least one temperature sensing element attached to one of the expandable legs and having two leads separately coupled to the one of the expandable legs such that the temperature sensing element forms an intrinsic junction with the one of the expandable legs, wherein the intrinsic junction is adapted to contact the wall of the airway when the expandable legs are in the expanded radial configuration, and wherein the leads extend along an exterior surface of the one of the expandable legs; and a power supply coupled to the expandable legs such that the same power is applied concurrently to the expandable legs.
