Abstract: A device for forming a lesion includes a hub defining a passageway therethrough and having a mounting structure at one end of the passageway and a shaft attached to the hub and defining lumen therethrough having a longitudinal axis. The shaft has a proximal end attached to the hub in communication with the passageway and a distal end extending away from the hub. The shaft includes an electrically conductive material on at least a portion of an inner surface and an electrically conductive material on at least a portion on an outer surface. A conductive member has a longitudinal axis and is attached to a mounting structure mateable with the mounting structure of the hub so that the conductive member extends through the passageway into the lumen so that at least near the hub the conductive member longitudinal axis is spaced from the lumen longitudinal axis, thereby assisting in creating electrical contact between the conductive member outer surface and the shaft inner surface.

Abstract: A manometer for measuring a differential pressure within a patient's disc includes a housing attachable to a device that is in fluid communication with the patient's disc, a pressure transducer within the housing for measuring a pressure in the patient's disc, a memory within the manometer for saving a pressure measured by the transducer, an input device on the housing for receiving input from a user to save an initial pressure measured by the transducer in the memory, and a display on the housing. The display provides an indication of an initial pressure in the patient's disc measured by the transducer before the user provides input via the input device and an indication of a differential pressure between a subsequent pressure and the initial pressure in the patient's disc after the user provides input via the input device. Related methods are also disclosed.
