Abstract:
An instrument and method for tissue thermotherapy including an inductive heating means to generate a vapor phase media that is used for interstitial, intraluminal, intracavity or topical tissue treatment. In one method, the vapor phase media is propagated from a probe outlet to provide a controlled vapor-to-liquid phase change in an interface with tissue to thereby apply ablative thermal energy delivery.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for thermally treating tissue comprising:\n providing a probe body having a flow channel extending therein to an outlet in a working end; introducing a flow of a liquid media through the flow channel; and applying energy to the tissue by inductively heating a portion of the probe sufficient to vaporize the flowing media within the flow channel causing pressurized ejection of the media from the outlet to the tissue.
