Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil qui réduit le volume d'un site sélectionné à l'intérieur de la langue. Cet appareil comprend un élément manuel et une électrode au moins partiellement positionnée à l'intérieur de l'élément manuel. L'électrode comprend une surface d'alimentation en énergie électromagnétique de l'électrode et peut s'avancer à partir de l'intérieur de l'élément manuel à l'intérieur de la langue. Un élément de déplacement vers l'avant de l'électrode est couplé à l'électrode et configuré pour faire progresser l'électrode sur une certaine distance à l'intérieur de la langue. Cette distance de progression est suffisante pour permettre à la surface d'alimentation en énergie électromagnétique de l'électrode de fournir de l'énergie électromagnétique au site de tissu sélectionné et de réduire le volume de ce site sans endommager le nerf hypoglosse. Un câble est couplé à l'électrode.
