Patent ID: 8465486

Claim:
A device for delivering energy to a wall of an airway in a human lung, the device comprising: a flexible elongate body having a proximal portion, a distal portion, a distal end, and a lumen extending therebetween; a deployment member having an electrically conducting wire extending from the proximal portion of the elongate body and extending through the lumen and terminating at a distal tip distal to the distal end of the elongate body; an expandable basket having a plurality of curved electrode legs, each of the electrode legs having a first end connected to the distal portion of the elongate body at a proximal joint and a second end connected to the deployment member at a distal joint, the distal joint electrically connecting the wire to each of the electrode legs adjacent to the distal tip, each of the plurality of electrode legs further having an energy insulated region and an energy active region; and a temperature sensing element coupled to the expandable basket.
