Endometerial microwave thermo-therapy applicator - has flexible coaxial wire antenna for uterus insertion fed with microwave signals for heating endometrium

摘要

The microwave applicator includes a fixture for setting the position and orientation (2,3) of a pair of wire antennas (6). The antennas are formed of a flexible or semi-rigid coaxial cable which is bare at its non connected end over a given length. The antenna is fed with microwave signals for the heating of human tissue. The positioning and direction system consists of a cylindrical element (2) made from a dielectric material which has a pipe (3) which is used to guide an end (7) of the coaxial cable. USE/ADVANTAGES - Application of thermal therapy for endometrium. Improved heat and direction control.
