Abstract:
An ablation device of a non-invasive radio-frequency ablation system includes a substrate having a first surface; a first electrode disposed on the first surface; a second electrode disposed on the first surface and adjacent to the first electrode; a moving unit electrically connected to the second electrode for moving the second electrode to regulate the distance between the second electrode and the first electrode; and a radio frequency generator connected to the ablation device for providing a radio frequency current to the first electrode and the second electrode. According to a method using the ablation device, the first and second electrodes are brought into contact with a third surface belonging to a subject in need of treatment, and the radio frequency current is applied to the electrodes to carry out a treatment procedure. The treatment depth and area are adjusted by changing the relative distance between the electrodes.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for treating a soft tissue related diseases, comprising the steps of:\n (A) providing a non-invasive radio-frequency ablation system including an ablation device: the ablation device comprising:\n a substrate having a first surface; \n a first electrode disposed on the first surface; \n a second electrode disposed on the first surface and adjacent to the first electrode; \n a moving unit electrically connected to the second electrode and moving the second electrode to regulate the distance between the second electrode and the first electrode; and \n a radio frequency current generator connected to the ablation device; \n (B) contacting the ablation device with a third surface of a subject in need; and (C) providing a radio frequency to the first electrode and the second electrode by the radio frequency generator and producing thermal energy to ablate or electrically burn the targeted soft tissue under the third face by the radio frequency.
