Abstract

UNA INSTALACION PARA APLICAR CALOR A UNA ZONA DEL CUERPO HUMANO Y UN METODO CORRESPONDIENTE. INCLUYE UN CONDUCTO DE TRANSMISION DE LA LUZ Y UN ELEMENTO DE GENERACION DE CALOR QUE CONVIERTE LA LUZ TRANSMITIDA EN CALOR. TAMBIEN SE PUEDE DISPONER UN TUBO EXTERIOR ADECUADO PARA GUIADO RESISTENCIA MECANICA Y ENTREGA DE FLUIDOS. SE PUEDE USAR EL DISPOSITIVO MEDICO PARA CAUTERIZAR O DESTRUIR TEJIDO O PARA ALTERAR O ELIMINAR DEPOSITOS QUE EXISTAN EN PASOS. TAMBIEN PUEDE SERVIR EL DISPOSITIVO MEDICO COMO PARTE DE UNA INSTALACION QUE PROPORCIONA LA LUZ Y MIDE LA TEMPERATURA DEL ELEMENTO.
