APPARATUS FOR APPLICATION OF EVANESCENT WAVES TO BIOLOGICAL TISSUES

There are many devices that are used to deliver electromagnetic energy to biological tissues. However, physical properties of current techniques limit the strength and efficacy of the applied field. This invention introduces a new apparatus for the application of evanescent waves into biological tissue. The apparatus is planar, conformal, and electrically insulated and is comprised of two or more conductive regions spatially separated by a non-conductive gap insulated by low-dielectric constant, non-conductive material. The apparatus is powered by one or more RF/voltage sources that can be applied to individual or several conductive regions to create voltage differentials that generate evanescent waves. The apparatus can be used for treating cancer tumors, deep brain stimulation, and other therapeutic purposes.
