Abstract
A disposable device designed to enhance the safety of capacitive radiofrequency therapies is described that is able to prevent risks arising from lesions present on the dielectric surface of the insulated electrode or on the stratum corneum of the skin, as well as risks arising from the use of technologies placed on the market before the certification of non-cytotoxicity of the parts applied to the patient (ISO 10993: 2018) was required, as well as the risks of contamination of parts applied in therapies previously performed on other patients.
Claims11
An electrically insulating protective shield for an insulated electrode of a capacitive RF delivery device that must be applied in direct physical contact with the skin surface of a patient to be treated;
- said insulated electrode comprising a central solid electrically conductive core entirely enclosed within a first insulating dielectric material coating, said insulating protective shield made of non-cytotoxic dielectric material and configured and specifically adapted as a removable dielectric positioned between and in direct physical contact with the first insulating dielectric material coating and the skin surface of the patient to be treated;
- wherein, when in use, the insulating protective shield forms a second separate dielectric barrier over the first dielectric coating, thereby providing two distinct dielectric layers interposed between the conductive core of the insulated electrode and the skin surface of the patient to be treated.
