The medical device is movable within the introducer tube between the first position and a second position. In the second position, the medical device extends at least partially beyond the distal end. The medical device defines at least one echogenic feature thereon for allowing visualization of the medical device upon insertion of the medical device in the patient's anatomy. In one form, a surgical electrode for insertion into a patient's anatomy is provided. The surgical electrode, which is configured to apply a current to a tissue, includes a coil defining a plurality of helical turns and at least one echogenic feature for allowing visualization of the coil when the coil is inserted into the patient's anatomy.
