Whole Body Hyperthermia

ENTHERMICS MEDICAL SYSTEMS has designed and built a Whole Body Hyperthermia radiant heat device capable of efficiently transferring energy to a human subject by the simultaneous delivery of radiative and convective heat. The purpose of this WBH device was to induce hyperthermia in a human subject within a reasonable amount of time without inducing harmful effects - surface burns being the most guarded. In simple terms, the WBH radiant heat device consists of a cylindrical heating chamber contained within a generally rectangular housing, a patient stretcher that can slide completely in and out of the heating chamber, and a special computerized thermometry system to measure critical body temperatures and store the treatment data.
