Apparatus for securing an electrophysiology probe to a clamp

Abstract

An apparatus for use with a clamp including a base member configured to be secured to the clamp and at least one energy transmission device carried by the base member. An apparatus for use with a clamp and a probe that carries at least one energy transmission device including a base member configured to be secured to the clamp and an engagement device associated with the base member and configured to engage the probe. A clamp including first and second clamp members, at least one of which is malleable, and a movement apparatus that moves at least one of the first and second clamp members relative to the other. A surgical system including a clamp with first and second clamp members and a device that removably mounts at least one electrode on at least one of the first and second clamp members.

1 . A tissue coagulation device for creating a lesion during a minimally invasive procedure, the device comprising:
 a clamp comprising a first clamp member and a second clamp member, the first and second clamp members coupled via a pivot; and   an energy transmission assembly comprising an energy transmission device, a cable, and a base member having a slot that secures the energy transmission device, the base member having a proximal end and a distal end,   wherein the base member is coupled with the first clamp member via a first mating structure and with the second clamp member via a second mating structure,   wherein the base member is positioned between the first mating structure and the second mating structure,   wherein the proximal end of the base member is positioned distal to the pivot, and   wherein the base member resists angular displacement between the first mating structure and the second mating structure.
