Abstract:
1. Method for temporarily inserting and positioning at least one energy emitting source in an animal body comprising at least the steps of: A inserting at least one hollow open needle having a proximal needle end and a distal needle end into the body so as to provide at least one channel in the body; B inserting a guide tube having a proximal guide tube end and a distal guide tube end to be inserted into the hollow open needle; C retracting the hollow open needle over the guide tube out of the body, while pulling the guide tube in position in the channel in the body; D fixating the guide tube with said proximal guide tube end relative to the body; E inserting via said proximal guide tube end a catheter tube having a closed distal catheter tube end and an open proximal catheter tube end with its distal catheter tube end until a predetermined depth into the guide tube and the body and fixating the catheter tube to the guide tube; F inserting via said proximal catheter tube end at least one energy emitting source into said catheter tube, and G after a predetermined period of time removing the at least one energy emitting source from the catheter tube, further characterized by H the at least one hollow open needle inserted at step A and said guide tube inserted at step B are inserted through a part of said body leaving both proximal and distal ends of said guide tube exposed outside either sides of said part of said body, and I fixing the guide tube with said distal guide tube end relative to the body.
