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 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first jaw including a first plurality of electrodes; a second jaw including a second plurality of electrodes, 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, each electrode of the first plurality of electrodes having, within a cross-section of the apparatus that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, a width that is less than a length of that electrode, the first plurality of electrodes spaced apart laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis, each electrode of the second plurality of electrodes, within the cross-section, having a width that is less than a length of that electrode, the second plurality of electrodes spaced apart laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis; and a processor operatively coupled to the first plurality of electrodes and the second plurality of electrodes, the processor configured to configure a first electrode of the first plurality of electrodes as an anode and a second electrode of the second plurality of electrodes as a cathode, the first electrode disposed diagonally across from the second electrode within the cross-section and spaced apart laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis from the second electrode, the processor configured to deliver the pulse waveform to the first and second electrodes such that the first and second electrodes deliver ablative energy to the tissue to generate irreversible electroporation in the tissue that forms a contiguous ablation zone extending diagonally from the first electrode to the second electrode.
