The device thermal probe is intended to be used for blocking the bleeding of small and medium-sized blood vessels by means of the impact on the area of ​​bleeding by laminar flow of heated air or an inert gas.The effectiveness of the method is governed by the phenomenon of formation the region, which mirrors the air flow mirroring due to denaturation of the protein components of the epithelial layer.This makes it possible to localize the effectiveness of the impact of the partial flow directed directly to the bleeding area. The diameter of the "mirrored" region is related to the depth of penetration via an empirical relationship.

ДD = 2.4 τ,
where τ is the penetration depth of the main air flow
