More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a device (1) for the invasive temperature measurement for surface and deep hyperthermia treatments, comprising a needle-pin element (2), a catheter (3) made up of a biocompatible material semirigid sheath, conformed about said needle-pin element (2), and coupled with the same in such a way that the needle-pin element (2) can be drawn out, at least a thermocouple (5), provided on the outer circumference of the semirigid sheath of said catheter (3), in known positions to the user, having the end realizing the reading point provided close to the sheath surface, coming into contact with the tissues, an application element (4) for the catheter provided with a hole to allow the drawing out of the needle-pin element (2). Dispositif (1) pour la mesure invasive de la température dans le traitement de l'hyperthermie superficielle et profonde. Ce dispositif comporte un élément tige/aiguille (2), un cathéter (3) constitué d'une gaine semi-rigide en matériau biocompatible conformée autour de cet élément tige/aiguille (2), et associée à ce dernier de manière à permettre l'extraction de l'élément tige/aiguille (2), au moins un thermocouple (5) prévu à la périphérie externe de la gaine semi-rigide dudit cathéter (3), dans des positions connues de l'utilisateur, l'extrémité formant le point de lecture étant situé à proximité de la surface de la gaine et au contact des tissus, ainsi qu'un élément (4) pour la mise en place du cathéter, cet élément étant pourvu d'un trou permettant l'extraction de l'élément tige/aiguille (2).
