A bipolar electrosurgical device may include an active wire with an active exposed portion configured to contact tissue at a treatment site. The active wire may be movably disposed in an active wire lumen of an elongate tubular member, except at a distal portion where the active exposed portion may be disposed outside of the tubular member. At the distal portion, a recess may extend in a body of the tubular member, where a return electrode may be disposed. The return electrode may be an exposed portion of a return path configured to contact tissue at the treatment site.
