The temperature monitoring module 5 is embedded in the silicone body to monitor the temperature of the silicone body in real time. The temperature monitoring module 5 is a temperature sensor array composed of multiple multi-point temperature sensors. The temperature sensor array captures the temperature distribution information of the silicone body and feeds back to the intelligent control system 4.

[0022] The silicone body is made of flexible silicone material, and its shape is an umbrella structure, which can fit the surface of the cervix, effectively cover the lesion area, and provide a uniform thermal therapy environment for treatment. Compared with mask-type materials, silicone materials are attached to the surface of the cervix, but cannot maintain their shape. Silicone materials are selected because they are soft and have a certain degree of shape retention. At the same time, silicone materials have good antibacterial properties. The inner surface of the silicone body is coated with an antibacterial coating to prevent the risk of infection and enhance the safety of the clinical application of the equipment. The temperature monitoring module 5 is embedded in the outer surface of the silicone body. The silicone body can be used once or reused after high-temperature sterilization.

[0023] The microchannel network system 2 is prepared by additive manufacturing technology to form a microchannel network for guiding the constant temperature working medium to achieve efficient heat transfer. The channel diameter of the microchannel network is 50 microns to 3 mm, which can ensure uniform heat transfer and reduce medium flow resistance.

[0024] The microchannel network can be arranged in straight lines, grids, and tube networks to optimize heat distribution in the silicone body.

[0033] S3 treatment operation: The intelligent control system 4 monitors the temperature sensor feedback in real time to ensure the temperature stability during the thermal treatment process. The working medium circulates through the microchannel network to ensure that the heat evenly covers the treatment area.

[0034] S4 End and Cleaning: Stop the water circulation, remove the equipment, and clean and sterilize the silicone body and water circulation components. The data is stored through the intelligent control system 4 to facilitate the optimization of subsequent treatment plans.
