Claims
- 1. An electrosurgical device capable of receiving a radiofrequency energy source therein comprising:
a shaft having a distal end and a longitudinal axis, a lumen disposed along the longitudinal axis terminating at the distal end and coupled to a vacuum source and the shaft adapted to receive radiofrequency energy; a first electrode adapted for performing a first electrosurgical procedure and releasably attachable to the distal end and electrically coupled to the radiofrequency energy source; and a second electrode adapted for performing a second electrosurgical procedure and releasably attachable to the distal end and electrically coupled to the radiofrequency energy source.
- 2. The electrosurgical device of claim 1, wherein the first electrode provides for tissue cutting.
- 3. The electrosurgical device of claim 1, wherein the second electrode provides for tissue coagulation.
- 4. The electrosurgical device of claim 1, wherein the shaft further comprises an internal cavity in which a cooling medium is contained.
- 5. The electrosurgical device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes are malleable.
