👉 Diathermy is a medical procedure that involves using an electric current to cause a small amount of tissue or fluid to be sucked out by a suction device. This can be done through a catheter, which is a thin tube inserted into the body to deliver medication or fluids. Diathermy is often used in treating conditions such as venous insufficiency (which causes blood to flow back against the walls of veins) and atrial fibrillation (a condition where the heart beats too fast).
