Summary:PCT No. PCT/IT95/00131 Sec. 371 Date May 21, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 21, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/03627 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 8, 1996A device for invasive temperature measurements during surface and deep hyperthermia treatments. The device includes a needle-pin element and a catheter of a biocompatible material semi-rigid sheath surrounding the needle-pin element. The needle-pin element and the sheath are coupled such that the needle-pin element can be drawn out. At least one thermocouple is provided on an outer circumference of the semi-rigid sheath of the catheter. The thermocouple has an end to affect the temperature reading and is provided close to a surface of the sheath which is in contact with tissue of a human body. Positioning means are provided at the bottom of the catheter to position the catheter adjacent to a human body and for maintaining the catheter in position.
