摘要：A tissue ablation device (10) has a handle (12) and an ablation head (14) coupledto the handle. The ablation head has a first jaw (24), a second jaw, and an ablative element(28) coupled to at least one of the first and second jaws. A thickness measurement device(40) may be coupled to the ablation device to indicate the distance separating the firstand second jaws. Further, a force measurement device (50) may be coupled to theablation device to measure the force being applied by the first and second jaws to a pieceof tissue. Further, a strain measurement device (60) may be coupled to the ablationdevice to indicate the strain resulting in a piece of tissue disposed between the first andsecond jaws when a stress is applied to the tissue.
