LOCAL UHF-HYPERTHERMIA APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61N5/01 A61B18/12 A61F7/12 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to devices for local hyperthermia apparatuses for malignant tumours. An apparatus comprises an UHF-field generator and at least two electrodes connected thereto, each supplied with a sylphon bellows applicator containing an elastic working wall and filled with a liquid dielectric, an electrode alignment and liquid dielectric supply system, UHF-field generator control system, needle temperature-sensitive elements with 8-channel temperature indicator, information display and documentation system. The apparatus is also provided with a scanning electromechanical drive, a thermostat automatically controllling temperature, a mobile hyperthermic table for the patient and an elastic catheter with a flexible temperature-sensitive element, a thermostat. The catheter is filled with a conductive liquid.

EFFECT: invention allows reducing risk of thermal injury of healthy tissues and probability of "hot points" under electrodes applicators.
