Patent ID: 8361060

Claim:
An electromagnetic thermotherapeutic apparatus that can be used to treat a biological tissue and that can be used in combination with a high frequency induction heating circuit unit, said electromagnetic thermotherapeutic apparatus comprising: a needle assembly adapted to be inserted through the biological tissue, with the needle assembly including a flexible and bendable needle seat and a plurality of ferrous needles that can be induction heated by the high frequency induction heating circuit unit, with said plurality of ferrous needles attached to said needle seat and having needle tips extending in a direction away from said needle seat; a temperature monitor connected to said needle assembly; and a heat insulation pad separately formed from and disposed near said needle assembly, with the plurality of ferrous needles located intermediate the heat insulation pad and the needle seat for isolating heat from said plurality of ferrous needles of said needle assembly, with the heat insulation pad adapted to be located between the biological tissue through which the needle assembly is adapted to be inserted and another biological tissue to isolate the other biological tissue from the heat from said plurality of ferrous needles of said needle assembly.
