PROSTATE EXPOSURE APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61N5/67 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to prostate exposure apparatuses. The prostate exposure apparatus comprises a bevelled end hollow cylindrical body for the contact of its tip with an exposure area; the tip of the apparatus adjoins a laser source, a heating element, a temperature sensing element, an active electrode, and an indifferent electrode, an electronic unit, an inductor coil, and an ultrasonic assembly representing a piezoelectric radiator with an ultrasound concentrator in the form of a metal core that is an active electrode simultaneously; one end of the active electrode is led on the tip of the apparatus, while the other end is mechanically coupled with the piezoelectric radiator and connected to the electronic unit; the indifferent electrode also connected to the electronic unit is brought out of the body, while the inductor coil is configured so that the active electrode extends along an axis of symmetry; the piezoelectric radiator, targeted laser source, heating element, temperature sensing element and inductor coil are connected to the electronic unit.

EFFECT: due to the inductor coil and ultrasound emitter, the apparatus as compared to its prototype enables additional ultrasonic and magnetic field exposure on the prostate that improves the therapeutic effectiveness.
