What are the medical principles and characteristics of microwave therapeutic devices?

MTC Microwave Therapy Device

Microwave refers to electromagnetic waves with a wavelength in the range of 1 mm to 1 meter. Its frequency is between high-frequency electricity and laser. It is widely used in clinical applications. They all use the same biothermal effect. The difference is that high-frequency electricity and laser heat the tissue through thermal conduction, which is external heating, so the temperature is high and carbonizes the tissue, while microwave uses the biological tissue itself. As a heat source for internal heating, polar molecules (mainly water molecules) in the tissue rotate at high speed with the microwave frequency and rub against each other to generate heat. The characteristics of this internal heating are: the tissue solidifies instantly from the inside to the outside, but the temperature is low. The boundary of the injured area is clear, and the heating area is uniform. The hemostatic effect is excellent, and there is no carbonization, no smoke and odor, and excellent safety. At the same time, because microwaves have a certain penetration depth into biological tissues, equipped with corresponding radiation therapy probes, It can improve local blood circulation, enhance metabolic processes, strengthen local tissue nutrition, promote leukocyte phagocytosis, and improve tissue viability. Clinically, it has antispasmodic, analgesic, promoting inflammation dissipation, and accelerating wound repair. Due to these characteristics of microwaves, Therefore, in recent years, it has become more and more popular and supported by medical workers, and is hailed as a new generation of medical technology that replaces traditional treatment methods.
