1. An apparatus comprising:
an elongated primary electrode defining a lumen therein;
an elongated secondary electrode slidably receivable within the lumen;
a sheath configured to slidably receive the primary electrode therein, the sheath being further configured to convey the primary electrode and the secondary electrode toward a target region;
a housing operably coupled with the sheath and movably mounted to slidably motivate the sheath relative to the target region;
a primary actuator operably coupled with the primary electrode and slidably coupled with the housing to motivate the primary electrode relative to the sheath, the primary actuator including a helical guide member coupled around a portion of the primary actuator to define a helical path; and
a secondary actuator operably coupled with the secondary electrode and movably coupled with the primary actuator to be slidable with the primary actuator to motivate the secondary electrode in concert with the primary electrode, the secondary actuator being rotatable independently of the primary actuator to travel along the helical path to motivate the secondary electrode to move relative to the target region independently of the primary electrode.
