The invention relates to polymeric insulators and methods of using these polymeric insulators. In some embodiments of the invention, one method is to separate a first portion of a patient's tissue from a second tissue portion of the patient, so that there is a gap between the first portion and the second portion. tissue. Deionized water, buffered saline, liquid polymers, gels, particles, foams, and / or gases are applied between the first portion and the second portion of tissue, and the first portion of tissue is exposed to energy to treat this first part of tissue. |
