1. An intracavitary electrode device for a high-frequency capacitive heating device, comprising:

  • a flexible member adapted to be inserted at a leading end portion thereof into an intracavity of an endotract organ of a living body;

    a cap-shaped electrode disposed around said leading end portion covering both of an end surface of said leading end portion and a circumferential surface of said leading end portion, said circumferential surface being adjacent to said end surface;

    a flexible polymer film enclosing said cap-shaped electrode so as to form a gas-tight space in association with said cap-shaped electrode and said flexible member, and secured on said flexible member at one end thereof;

    an introducing passage disposed in said flexible member for introducing a cooling medium into said gas-tight space; and

    a discharging passage disposed in said flexible member for discharging said cooling medium from said gas-tight space,each of said introducing passage and said discharging passage communicating with said gas-tight space.
