Abstract:
A cannula assembly for radiofrequency ablation of tissue. A cannula body includes a cannula distal section including electrically conductive material. A cannula bend is between proximal and distal sections, and a lumen extends between the proximal and distal ends. A side opening is within an outer side of the cannula body and opening into the lumen. A body is dimensioned to be inserted and seated within the lumen of the cannula. The body includes a body bend such that, depending on a rotational orientation of the body relative to the cannula body, a body distal section is seated within the lumen of the cannula distal section or extends out of the side opening. An electrically insulating sleeve may be disposed over the cannula body. Complimentary indicia on a cannula hub and a body hub provide an indication of the rotational orientation of the body relative to the cannula body.

Claim (Index 9):
A cannula assembly for radiofrequency ablation of tissue, said cannula assembly comprising:\n a cannula hub; cannula hub indicia on said cannula hub; a cannula body comprising a cannula proximal section including a cannula proximal end coupled to said cannula hub, a cannula distal section including a cannula distal end opposite said cannula proximal end with said cannula distal section comprising electrically conductive material for the ablation of the tissue, a cannula bend between said cannula proximal and distal sections with said cannula hub indicia indicative of an orientation of said cannula distal section relative to said cannula proximal section from said cannula bend, a lumen extending between said cannula proximal and distal ends, and a side opening within an outer side of said cannula body and opening into said lumen; an electrically insulating sleeve disposed over said cannula body; a body hub; body hub indicia on said body hub; and a body coupled to said body hub with said coupled to said body hub with said body dimensioned to be inserted and seated within said lumen of said cannula body with said body comprising a body proximal section including a body proximal end, a body distal section including a body distal end opposite said body proximal end, and a body bend located between said body proximal and distal sections with said body hub indicia indicative of an orientation of said body distal section relative to said body proximal section from said body bend, wherein said cannula hub indicia and body hub indicia are complimentary arranged such that, when said cannula hub indicia is placed in registration with said body hub indicia as said body is inserted within said lumen of said cannula body, said body bend causes said body distal section to move past said side opening and be seated within said lumen of said cannula distal section.
