ABSTRACT:
A technique for localized thermal therapeutic treatment of mammals comprising the steps of inserting a catheter through a urethra, the catheter including a first elongate portion including first and second passageways for circulation of a heated fluid and a plurality of sealed elongate enclosures which contain trapped gas and provide thermal insulation surrounding the first and second passageways and a second portion void of insulation extending from the first elongate portion with extensions of the first and second passageways therethrough; and circulating a heated fluid through the first and second passageways to provide desired therapeutic heating of the body tissue surrounding the second portion by thermal dissipation from the surface thereof.
