Abstract

In one embodiment, the disclosure is directed to an integrated apparatus for delivering energy to a tissue. The integrated apparatus (1) includes a housing (12) having a distal end and a tubular structure (16) located within the housing (12) forming a first annulus (20) between the tubular structure (16) and the housing (12). The tubular structure (16) is configured to accept an energy delivery component (2) and is configured to form a second annulus (18) between the tubular structure (16) and the energy delivery component (2). The first annulus (20) and the second annulus (18) are configured to communicate with each other proximate to the distal end of the housing (12).
