FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to hyperthermia equipment. An apparatus comprises an electromagnetic energy transmission facility for targeting the energy, comprising at least one conductive metallic electrode material in the form of a coating or a mesh wire; a flexible carrier surface is coated with the conductive metallic electrode material. The coated flexible carrier is porous and allows for a through water and sweat transport. The conductive metallic electrode material makes the flexible carrier in the form of the mesh wire; it is porous and allows for the through water and sweat transport via the flexible carrier. The metallic electrode material is not isolated from the skin; it is opposite to at least one counter electrode or one oppositely charged capacitor electrode, or the coated flexible carrier or mesh wire consists of the number of positive and negative sections or the number of positive and negative electrodes that represent an array of alternating positive and negative sections or an array of positive and negative electrodes. The electromagnetic energy transmission facility is attached to a radio-frequency source providing radio frequencies within the range of 10 kHz to 50 MHz.
EFFECT: using the invention enables higher and easier usability of the apparatus.
