An induction heating apparatus includes a first interventional device and a second
interventional device. The first interventional device includes an electrically
conductive material. The first interventional device is adapted for implantation
inside a body and for receiving an alternating current. The second interventional
device comprises a magnetically conductive material. The second interventional
device is adapted for implantation inside the body in close proximity to the first
interventional device. With both devices placed inside the body, the second interventional
device magnetically couples with the first interventional device and the second
interventional device generates heat upon the application of the alternating current
to the first interventional device thereby heating the body site.
