Abstract

Le dispositif médical (10) selon la présente invention comprend : un corps d'expansion (21) ; une partie arbre (20) à laquelle une extrémité de base du corps d'expansion (21) est fixée ; une pluralité de groupes d'électrodes (22) disposés à des intervalles dans une direction circonférentielle du corps d'expansion (21) ; et une unité d'alimentation en courant (101) qui fournit un courant à la pluralité de groupes d'électrodes (22). Le corps d'expansion (21) présente un évidement (51) en retrait vers l'intérieur dans une direction radiale. L'évidement (51) présente une partie inférieure (51a), une partie verticale d'extrémité de base (52) s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur à partir d'une extrémité de base de la partie inférieure (51a), et une partie verticale côté pointe (53) s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur à partir d'une pointe de la partie inférieure (51a). Chacun de la pluralité de groupes d'électrodes (22) a une électrode côté extrémité de base (61) disposée dans la partie verticale d'extrémité de base (52) et une électrode côté pointe (62) disposée dans la partie verticale côté pointe (53). L'unité d'alimentation en courant (101) peut fournir indépendamment le courant à l'électrode côté extrémité de base (61) et à l'électrode côté pointe (62).
