    Abstract: The invention relates to a catheter device including a coil element comprised of NiCr60 alloy material, whose proximal radial end is coiled about the catheter shaft. The coil element and the thermal containment tube are configured so as to emit thermal energy. This is achieved by a catheter device adapted to deliver thermal energy from a source local to the body tissue to be ablated, adapted for connection to a thermal heat source at its distal end, a fluid conduit for passing a fluid into said ports for anchoring and filling the proximal cuff of the thermal energy device, a separate conduit for placement of necessary connective lines to the thermal energy element and monitoring device and a separate conduit for the drainage of bladder fluids during treatment.
