Hyperthermia Treatment (whole-body)

The Whole Body Hyperthermia treatment

At the MasterCell Centre we have a Heckel HT3000 Whole Body Hyperthermia technology system. The hyperthermia unit was developed as a way to more efficiently supply thermal energy to the body and deeper tissues using infrared (IR) radiation. It is a specially designed device in the form of a tent made of a flexible, thermally insulating material. While lying comfortably on the treatment table or bed, the tent is placed over the table with the patient inside during the IR radiation phase, with their head outside the tent. Radiation is able to penetrate the skin to a depth where the blood can absorb the heat and spread it throughout the tissue and organs. Subsequently the body’s core temperature is safely heated within 1-2 hours. Once the desired temperature has been reached, the tent walls can be folded down and wrapped on to the patient to maintain the elevated core temperature.
