TLDR
A portable therapy device for attachment to a patient to promote tissue healing by exposure to an r.f. field, comprises an oscillator (5) which energizes an antenna having a transmitting element (1) the natural directive pattern of which is modified by a reflector (8) and a parasitic element (10) such that a major part of the r. f. field emitted by the antenna passes to the patient as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A portable therapy device for attachment to a patient to promote tissue healing by exposure to an r.f. field, comprises an oscillator (5) which energizes an antenna having a transmitting element (1) the natural directive pattern of which is modified by a reflector (8) and a parasitic element (10) such that a major part of the r.f. field emitted by the antenna passes to the patient. In another embodiment the antenna is configured to produce a spatially substantially uniform field strength over the area of the patient being treated. The device subjects the tissue to r.f. power levels which produce no significant tissue heating.read more
