Abstract
A device for supply of heat to body tissue, comprising a heating device ( ) and a first temperature transducer ( ) which is insertable in the body tissue, the heating device ( ) being connected with an energy supply unit ( ) governed by a control unit ( ) via a catheter for treatment ( ) which is insertable in a body cavity and said first temperature transducer ( ) being operatively connected to the control unit ( ). The control unit ( ) is operatively connected with first memory means ( ) for storage of data corresponding to the survival of cells as a function of cell temperature. An input device ( ) is operatively connected to control unit ( ) to enter data such as desired volume/weight of body tissue to which heat is to be supplied to such an extent that the cells of the tissue die, and the control unit ( ) being operatively connected to calculation instrument ( ) for determining volume and weight of such body tissue whose cells have died as a function of temperature in the tissue at a certain distance from heating device ( ).
