Patent ID: 8092450

Claim:
An energy delivery apparatus for delivering electrical energy at a target location, said energy delivery apparatus being usable in combination with a magnetic field, said energy delivery apparatus comprising: an electrical conductor, said electrical conductor having an elongated configuration; an electrode for delivering said electrical energy at said target location, said electrode being electrically coupled to said electrical conductor and located at a predetermined location therealong; and a guiding element mounted to said electrical conductor in a longitudinally spaced apart relationship relative to said electrode, said guiding element including at least two guiding components longitudinally spaced apart relative to each other, each of said guiding components being mounted to said electrical conductor and including a respective magnetically responsive material; wherein said energy delivery apparatus is constructed such that movement of said guiding element causes a corresponding movement of said electrode; whereby said magnetic field is used to move said guiding element in order to position said electrode adjacent to said target location.
