Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for application of a pulsed radio frequency therapy in a vascular system or another cavity or tissue of the human or animal body comprising a catheter with at least one electrode disposed thereon for insertion into the vascular system or another cavity or the tissue of the human or animal body; a probe with at least one further electrode disposed thereon, wherein the probe is insertable via the catheter into the vascular system or the other cavity or the tissue of the human or animal body; and a generator electrically connected with the electrodes for generating a pulsed electro-magnetic field between the electrodes.
Claims15
An apparatus for application of a pulsed radio frequency therapy in a body comprising:
- a catheter with at least one catheter electrode disposed thereon;
- a probe with at least one probe electrode disposed thereon, wherein the probe is insertable into the catheter;
- and
- a generator configured to generate an electro-magnetic field which electro-magnetically couples the at least one catheter electrode and the at least one probe electrode to one another when the generator is electrically connected with the at least one catheter electrode and the at least one probe electrode, the electro-magnetic field being a pulsed electro-magnetic field which electro-magnetically couples the at least one catheter electrode and the at least one probe electrode;
- wherein, when the probe is inserted into the catheter, a depth of penetration of the probe in the catheter is modifiable from a first depth of penetration of the probe in the catheter to a second depth of penetration of the probe in the catheter;
- and
- wherein, when the probe is inserted into the catheter, the pulsed electro-magnetic field is modifiable upon modifying the depth of penetration of the probe in the catheter from the first depth of penetration of the probe in the catheter to the second depth of penetration of the probe in the catheter.
