Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for electroporation ablation therapy are disclosed, with the device including a first jaw including a plurality of first electrodes and a second jaw including a plurality of second electrodes. The first jaw and the second jaw may be substantially rigid, elongate, and collectively define a longitudinal axis. The first jaw and the second jaw may be configured to engage tissue therebetween during use.

Claim (Index 27):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first jaw including a first electrode and a second electrode; a second jaw including a third electrode and a fourth electrode, the first jaw and the second jaw being substantially rigid, elongate, and collectively defining a longitudinal axis, the first jaw and the second jaw further configured to engage tissue therebetween during use, wherein, within a cross-section of the apparatus that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the first electrode is disposed diagonally across from the fourth electrode is spaced apart laterally from the fourth electrode; and a processor operably coupled to the first jaw and the second jaw, the processor configured to, during use:\n configure the first electrode as an anode and the fourth electrode as a cathode; and \n deliver a pulse waveform to the first electrode and the fourth electrode such that the first electrode and the fourth electrode generate a pulsed electric field that delivers ablative energy to the tissue to generate irreversible electroporation in the tissue that forms a contiguous ablation zone with greater width closer to a surface of the tissue adjacent to the first and second electrodes than at a central portion of the tissue.
