High frequency hyperthermia device and hyperthermia method using the same

A hyperthermia method of generating deep heat in an internal body using a high frequency hyperthermia device which includes a main body including a high frequency generator which generates high frequency currents using drive power, a hand piece which is connected to the main body through a cable and in which a handle to be gripped by a user is disposed on an upper portion of the hand piece, and four or more contact electrodes through which the high frequency currents being supplied are applied to the skin in contact with the contact electrodes to generate deep heat in an internal body are disposed on a lower portion of the hand piece, and an alternating switch which is disposed between and connected to the high frequency generator and the contact electrodes in a circuit manner, supplies the high frequency currents output from the high frequency generator to the contact electrode, wherein the contact electrodes are divided into pairs each having two contact electrodes, and the high frequency currents are alternately supplied to the pairs at the high speed, the method comprising:

• bringing the electrodes into contact with the skin, in which the handle of the hand piece is gripped and the contact electrodes simultaneously come into contact with the skin of a diseased area;
• generating high frequency, in which the high frequency generator generates the high frequency currents according to manipulation of a user input unit of the main body;
• and
• alternately supplying the high frequency currents, in which the alternating switch operates to supply the high frequency currents output from the high frequency generator to the contact electrodes such that the high frequency currents are each alternately supplied to the pairs at a first speed to generate the deep heat in the skin in contact with the contact electrodes.
