Patent ID: 8702694

Claim:
An ablation device comprising: an ablation structure comprising a first end and a second end; a longitudinal support connected to the ablation structure, wherein the longitudinal support includes a central longitudinal axis on which the ablation structure is positioned such that the ablation structure is longitudinal and non-planar; a base connected to the longitudinal support by a pin about which the longitudinal support is arranged such that it is rotatable through an operative range of motion with respect to the longitudinal support's central longitudinal axis, wherein, throughout the operative range of motion, a line orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis of the longitudinal support and passing through the pin intersects the ablation structure between the first and second end; a strap connected to the base configured to accept an elongate member therethrough, wherein when the elongate member is connected to the strap, the pin is displaced from a longitudinal axis of the elongate member and distal to a distal end of the elongate member when the elongate member is accepted in the strap.
