Abstract: The invention is a system and method of minimally invasive treatment with wire structure electrodes dispensed without open cut downs or laparoscopy and using energy forms including radiofrequency, microwave, direct current, and high intensity focused ultrasound.

Abstract: An injectable wire structure electrode can assimilate with surrounding tissues after injection, inducing in-growth of blood vessels, collagen and other tissue. Assimilation secures the electrode to the tissue without sutures and prevents relative motion which can lead to inflammation and scarring. Associated methods of manufacturing and injection are disclosed, as well as systems including a dermal multiplexer for power delivery.
