Abstract
Cartilage and other tissues are treated by generating a plasma in an interior space of a probe and exposing the tissue to the plasma. The plasma is released through a gap in a working end of the probe.
Claims20
A method for treating a target tissue, said method comprising:
- flowing a conductive media through a gap in a working end of a probe;
- igniting the conductive media as it flows through the gap to produce a plasma within the gap, wherein the gap is sufficiently fluid tight to inhibit liquid flow but permit propagation of the plasma therethrough;
- and
- exposing the target tissue to the plasma.
