<p>A device for carrying out hyperthermia in a mammalian uterine cavity or body cavities or ducts. It comprises an elongate, rigid distal section (3) and a flexible and elastic bladder (9) encompassing the distal section, which is intended to be inserted in the uterine. Further, comprising means (27) for the supply of a heat transmitting fluid for the expansion of the bladder heating means (29), an axially displaceable tube (21, 35) and means (15, 45) for determining the axial position of the distal end (23, 51) of the displaceable tube so that the length of the bladder matches the depth of the cavity subject to treatment. Also comprising means (13, 47) for locking the tube with its distal end in such matching position. The invention also includes methods of thermal treatment a mammalian uterine cavity.</p> |
