Liners for cryogenic treatment systems are described where a cryogenic fluid or gas may be introduced into a liner expanded within a body lumen such as the uterine cavity. The liner may be intentionally sized to be substantially larger than the typical size of the uterine cavity, e.g., 1.2 times (or more), greater than the size of the uterine cavity into which the liner is inserted. Because the liner is sized intentionally larger than the body lumen to be treated, the liner may never fully expand when deployed. But even with folds or portions of the liner being folded upon itself, the liner may remain sufficiently supple such that the resulting uncontrolled folds allow for complete conformance of the liner against the anatomy of the contacted tissue.

In a negative pole, the hollow metal conductive agent is used; by controlling the compaction density of a pole piece, the conductive agent keeps a certain hollow structure after being ground; when a silicon-containing negative pole is charged and expanded, the metal conductive agent is deformed along the expansion direction of negative pole particles to form a certain space, so that the staggering and stripping of the negative pole particles are inhibited to a certain extent; and meanwhile, the contact area of metal and the negative pole particles keeps unchanged or is relatively large when the negative pole particles are extruded and enough conductivity is kept, so that the cycling service life is maintained.
