Patent ID: 8211104

Claim:
A medical probe kit, comprising: a delivery cannula having a shaft terminating at a male connector at a proximal end, the male connector having a key disposed on a surface thereof, a lumen extending through the cannula shaft and terminating at an axial opening disposed at a distal end of the cannula shaft, and a plurality of windows formed through a wall of the shaft in communication with the lumen, the plurality of windows comprising a self-sealing pliable membrane configured to isolate the lumen of the shaft from an external environment; an ablation probe configured to be removably disposed within the cannula lumen, the ablation probe having a shaft, a proximal handle, a distal handle comprising a distally facing female connector having a key slot configured to mate with the key of the male connector, and proximal and distal arrays of electrodes operatively coupled to the proximal handle and deployable from the probe shaft, wherein the electrodes of the proximal array are configured to be deployed out from the respective windows of the cannula when the ablation probe is disposed within the cannula lumen and the electrodes of the distal array are configured to be deployed out the axial opening disposed at the distal end of the cannula shaft when the ablation probe is disposed within the cannula lumen; and a biopsy stylet configured to be removably disposed within the cannula lumen.
