    摘要: Devices and methods for thermal ablation of hypertrophied tissue, such as turbinates, with a resistive heating element adapted for insertion into the tissue. The device uses DC current to heat the resistive heating element, and is operated at relatively low voltage levels and low current levels. The device is easy to operate, and may be applied for predetermined time periods without feedback control, using a timing circuit or computerized control system. The resistive heating element is covered with a thin, non-stick, coating that is thermally conductive, such as Xylan®, Teflon® or other fluoropolymer or suitable material.
