Extravascular-circulation hyperthermia system applicator, intracorporeal

Definition

A component of a hyperthermia system that typically consists of catheter-enclosed tubing which is introduced into the body either manually or endoscopically. Heated fluid is circulated through the applicator's tubing for localized heating to treat malignant tumours, benign growths, or other disease-related conditions. The applicator (also called an interstitial applicator or probe) typically includes a thermometry component that monitors the temperature of the applicator during operation; it also includes tubing, cables, and connectors that interface with the hyperthermia system's control unit during treatments. It is typically used in an oncology department. This is a single-use device.
