Ultrasound energy barrier for avoiding energy accumulation in bone region during tumor treatment

An ultrasound energy barrier for avoiding energy accumulation in a to-be-protected region during tumor treatment has a barrier element and a positioning element. The barrier element is attached to a body surface of an animal outside a to-be-protected region and a to-be-treated tumor in turn, the barrier element has an outline matched with the to-be-protected region to thus shield the to-be-protected region, so as to avoid energy accumulation in the to-be-protected region during an ultrasound focusing treatment of the to-be-treated tumor. The positioning element positioning the barrier element on the body surface during the ultrasound focusing treatment.

Prepuce extruding, cutting, hemostasis, and healing assembly using ultrasonic wave

A prepuce extruding, cutting, hemostasis, and healing assembly using ultrasonic wave. Ultrasonic wave is applied in extruding, cutting, hemostasis, and healing of prepuce at a conjunction of internal and external tissues of a distal part of a human body. The assembly includes an ultrasonic generating device, a transmission device and a circumcision device. The ultrasonic generating device is used for generating ultrasonic waves, is connected to the transmission device and can send the ultrasonic waves to the transmission device. The transmission device is connected to the circumcision device and can send the ultrasonic waves to the circumcision device. The circumcision device is used for extruding and cutting a prepuce and/or performing hemostasis and/or healing of wounds. In this way, circumcision can be completed within just several seconds, and immediate healing can be achieved, preventing bleeding during and after a surgery.

A skin care apparatus suitable for use in proximity to a subject's eyes. The apparatus includes a treatment device and a stimulus device. Upon activation by a user, such as the subject or a technician, a stimulus delivered by the stimulus device causes the subject's eyelid to close prior to the administration of a skin care treatment by the treatment device.

SURGICAL INSTRUMENT WITH DUAL MODE END EFFECTOR AND SIDE-LOADED CLAMP ARM ASSEMBLY

A surgical instrument includes a body, an ultrasonic blade, a clamp arm, and a resilient member. The body includes an electrical conductor and defines a longitudinal axis. The clamp arm is pivotably coupled with the body at a pivot assembly. The clamp arm is operable to compress tissue against the ultrasonic blade. The clamp arm includes an electrode operable to apply RF energy to tissue, wherein the clamp arm is configured to be loaded onto and removed from the body at the pivot assembly along a path that is transverse to the longitudinal axis defined by the body. The resilient member is located within the pivot assembly. The resilient member is configured to provide electrical continuity between the electrode of the clamp arm and the electrical conductor of the body.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PLANNING AND NAVIGATION
20170065351 · 2017-03-09 ·

The present disclosure is directed to a planning and navigation method. The planning and navigation method includes obtaining a plurality of images, rendering the plurality of images in three dimensions, automatically segmenting the plurality of images to demarcate a target area, and automatically determining a treatment plan based on the target area. The planning and navigation system also includes obtaining an ultrasound image of a scan plane including the target and obtaining a fiducial image of a fiducial pattern disposed on an ultrasound device using an image capture device on a surgical device. The obtained fiducial image is corrected for lens distortion and a correspondence between the fiducial image and a model image is found. After which a camera pose is a position of the surgical device is transformed to model coordinates. Then the ultrasound image and a virtual image of the surgical device is displayed based on the model coordinates to allow a surgeon to navigate the surgical device to the target using the displayed ultrasound image and the virtual image and treating the target based on the treatment plan.
