Microwave hyperthermia system applicator, extracorporeal
Definition
A component of a microwave hyperthermia system designed to direct and deliver microwave energy used to produce a systemic or local heating effect. It is typically mounted on a floor, wall, or ceiling suspension that allows the operator to position the microwave source from a point outside the patient's body. The applicator assembly includes cables and connectors that interface with the energy-generating unit of the hyperthermia system during treatments. This is a reusable device.
