An elongate assembly, comprising
- a coaxial feed cable for conveying electromagnetic energy, the coaxial feed cable having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric material separating the inner conductor and the outer conductor;
- and
- a radiating tip disposed at a distal end of the coaxial feed cable to receive the electromagnetic energy therefrom, the radiating tip being configured to radiate the electromagnetic energy for tissue treatment;
- wherein the inner conductor and the radiating tip include a passageway configured to receive an elongate instrument;
- wherein the radiating tip comprises:
- an elongate conductor electrically connected to the inner conductor and extending in a longitudinal direction to form an electromagnetic radiator;
- a first tuning element electrically connected to the elongate conductor;
- and
- a dielectric body disposed around the elongate conductor and the first tuning element,
- wherein an electromagnetic field emitted by the electromagnetic radiator is shaped around the dielectric body.
