In general, high-frequency medical devices convert high-frequency power into human body by converting electrical energy into bioenergy, and promote fat metabolism and muscle movement through deep heat generated by using such bioenergy to treat obesity, strengthen muscles, and manage skin. It is a medical device used to promote hair, or to alleviate pain. Since the high frequency power source has a very short vibration width when it is energized by human tissue, almost no ion movement occurs and no electrochemical reaction or electrolysis occurs. When the high frequency power is energized in the human body, heat is generated in the tissues, and this is called deep heat. The reason for the deep heat is generated by the molecules constituting the tissue whenever the direction of the power is changed when high frequency electric energy is applied. This is because they vibrate and rub against each other to generate biothermal heat by rotational movement, twisting and collision movement. Therefore, the high frequency power source can heat a specific part of the body tissue without causing discomfort or muscle contraction in the human body, and the deep heat generated in this way increases the temperature of the tissue to enhance the function of the cells and increase blood flow. It acts as a.

The high frequency treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention generates a deep heat in the human body using such a high frequency power source, and at a temperature such that cancer cells may be necrotic through repetition of the deep heat at a local region where cancer tissue is located. For example, it can be used as a cancer treatment device to increase the temperature of the body to a temperature of 42 ~ 43 ℃ so that only cancer cells necrosis without adverse effects on normal tissue in the body. Hereinafter, the temperature of the temperature of 42 ~ 43 ℃ to necrosis cancer cells is referred to as the first threshold value.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a high frequency treatment apparatus includes a high frequency generator 100 generating a high frequency power source and a reference power source, and deep heat generation in which a plurality of

electrode plates

210a and 210b are disposed. At least two or more electrode units 210 of the plurality of

electrode plates

210a and 210b are selected such that the unit 200 and two electrode plates selected from the plurality of

electrode plates

210a and 210b form the electrode unit 210. And a controller 300 for controlling deep heat in the human body B by alternately or simultaneously applying high frequency power or reference power to each selected electrode unit 210.

The high frequency generator 100 is a device for generating a high frequency power source and a reference power source required for cancer treatment, and applies a high frequency power source to one of the pair of

electrode plates

210a and 210b forming the electrode unit 210 and to the other one. It is performed by applying a reference power source. Accordingly, the pair of

electrode plates

In the deep heat generating unit 200, a plurality of

electrode plates

210a and 210b are disposed on a rectangular flexible substrate 220 having electrical insulation, and the electrode plate of the deep heat generating unit 200 may be treated during high frequency treatment. 210a and 210b are in contact with the human skin to be treated, and the deep heat generation unit 200 is mounted to surround a specific part of the human body. The deep heat generation unit 200 may be manufactured in different sizes and shapes according to the shape and size of the human body to be treated. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the flexible substrate 220 may be configured in such a manner that a plurality of

electrode plates

210a and 210b having the same size are spaced apart at regular intervals. As illustrated in FIG. 2B,

electrode plates

210a and 210b having different sizes may be alternately arranged.

Looking more specifically at the high frequency power source and the reference power is applied to the electrode unit 210 from the high frequency generator 100, one of the two electrode plate selected as the electrode unit 210 of the plurality of electrode plate high frequency Power is applied and the reference power is applied to the other electrode plate. That is, one of the two electrode plates selected as the electrode unit operates as a high frequency electrode plate 210a to which a high frequency power is applied, and the other electrode plate acts as a reference electrode plate to which a reference power is applied. If the polarity of the high frequency power source applied to the high frequency electrode plate 210a is changed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode according to the above configuration, the body B may have a difference in polarity between the reference power source and the high frequency power source applied to the reference electrode plate 210b. Deep heat is generated between the high frequency electrode plate 210a and the reference electrode plate 210b.

At this time, the plurality of

electrode plates

210a and 210b according to an embodiment of the present invention are the high frequency electrode plate 210a to which high frequency power is applied and the reference electrode plate 210b to which reference power is applied through the control unit 300.

Hereinafter, look at the operation state and principle of the radiofrequency therapy apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Looking at the basic operating state of the radio frequency treatment apparatus according to the present invention with reference to Figure 3, the high frequency electrode plate 210a and the reference electrode plate forming a pair of a plurality of electrode plates mounted on the deep heat generating unit 200 The 210b forms the electrode unit 210, and the high frequency electrode plate 210a and the reference electrode plate 210b forming the electrode unit 210 generate deep heat in the body B.

When high frequency power is applied to the high frequency electrode plate 210a constituting the electrode unit 210 and reference power is applied to the reference electrode plate 210b corresponding to the high frequency electrode plate 210a, the contact arrangement is placed on the human body B. Deep heat is generated between the pair of

electrode plates

210a and 210b. Hereinafter, a region where deep heat is generated between the pair of

electrode plates

210a and 210b constituting the electrode unit 210 is referred to as a deep heat generating region P.

Under the control of the controller 300, the first electrode unit is selected to form a first deep heat generating region ① at a portion where the cancer tissue C in the human body is located among the plurality of electrode plates. The second electrode unit is selected so that the second deep heat generating region ② is formed as a portion where the tissue C is located, and the third deep heat generating region is a portion where the cancer tissue C in the human body is located. ③) is formed so that a higher core heat is generated in the region Q where the first to third deep heat generating regions intersect.

The region Q in the human body in which the deep heats generated by the first to third electrode units sequentially or alternately intersect with each other rises to a higher temperature than other regions. As a result, when the cancer tissue C is located in the human body region Q where the deep heat intersects, the temperature of the cancer tissue C may be increased to a first threshold value or more. For example, the controller 300 may sequentially and repeatedly select the first electrode unit, the second electrode unit, and the third electrode unit to generate deep heat, or the first electrode unit, the second electrode unit, and the first electrode. The deep heat is generated by alternately selecting the unit, the third electrode unit, or the like.

At the same time, the region Q in the human body in which the deep heat generated by the selected first to third electrode units cross each other is raised to a higher temperature than other regions. As a result, when the cancer tissue C is located in the human body region Q where the deep heat intersects, the temperature of the cancer tissue C may be increased to a first threshold value or more.
