Micro-waves device inducing hyperthermia in a body.

摘要

The invention relates to a microwave device inducing hyperthermia in a given body. The device comprises a wire antenna (1) supplied with microwave energy or, upon being switched, acting as a radiometric probe, a sleeve (2) permitting the thermostatting of the wire antenna, and a Foley-type catheter (3) mounted in a removable manner in such a way as to encompass the assembly thus formed, the catheter making it possible to position this assembly with respect to an inlet opening in the given body, and being the only disposable part in order to ensure satisfactory hygiene during the hyperthermia session. A connection module (4) permits interconnection both radioelectrically in respect of the wire antenna and hydraulically in respect of the sleeve and the catheter. Application to thermotherapy or heat treatment of given bodies. <IMAGE>
