    摘要: A radiofrequency ablation device reduces the incidence of skin burns by selectively activating ground pads in a partially sequential and partially contemporaneous manner. The selective sequential activation of the ground pads lowers power dispersion at each ground pad relative to contemporaneous activation of ground pads and/or sequential activation of ground pads. This reduction in power dispersion at each ground pad consequently yields a lower overall maximum temperature, and more uniform heating of all of the ground pads. This makes the system more predictable and safer for use in treatment. The radiofrequency ablation device may include a layered ground pad that includes at least two layers of material. One layer of material can be substantially similar to the material used for a monolithic ground pad, and one layer can have a substantially lower relative electrical conductivity, but a substantially higher electrical conductivity relative to adjacent body tissue. Alternatively, a ground pad may include multiple conductive zones that are activated using the same selective sequential activation scheme.
