Diathermy device

Abstract

Diathermy device comprising a generator of alternating electric current and an electrode, the electrode and the generator being electrically connected, and characterised in that the electrode consists of a flexible glove comprising an inner layer of insulating material, an intermediate conducting layer connected to the generator and an outer layer made of an insulating material with a thickness of between 0.05 and 0.15 mm such that the outer layer has an impedance of less than 50 ohms for alternating electric currents with a frequency of between 100 kHz and 10 MHz, and in that the generator is configured to generate alternating electric currents at least at a frequency within said interval of 100 kHz and 10 MHz.
