A device, system, and method for delivering energy to tissue. In particular, the present invention relates to a system and method for enhancing lesion formation without arrhythmogenic effects within relatively thick target tissues, such as the ventricles of the heart. In one embodiment, charge-neutral pulses and non-charge-neutral pulses may be delivered to induce the formation of electrolytic compounds that enhance cell death at the treatment site. Additionally or alternatively, tissue at the treatment site may be heated to sub-lethal temperature before ablating the tissue.

Disclosed is an extracorporeal shock wave medical device with high-frequency and low-frequency treatment functions. The extracorporeal shock wave medical device includes a body portion, a cylinder disposed inside the body portion, a moving portion which linearly moves inside the cylinder, a connecting portion disposed at the end of the cylinder and connected to the body portion to selectively collide with the moving portion when the moving portion moves, an impact portion connected to the connecting portion and configured to transmit an impact to the outside when the moving portion collides with the connecting portion, and a waveform transmitting portion electrically connected to the impact portion to transmit a high frequency or low frequency to the impact portion.

Disclosed is a high frequency treatment handpiece having roller electrodes. The handpiece includes: a handpiece casing part; and a plurality of roller electrode members rotatably positioned on a lower surface of the handpiece casing part and applying a high frequency by being brought into contact with the skin. The handpiece prevents burning when the continuous rubbing of a treated area is performed during a treatment, allows a practitioner to conveniently perform the treatment, and allows a person being treated to comfortably receive the treatment with minimum pain. Ball electrodes and roller electrodes can be selectively used, and a roller fixed mode, which limits the rotation of the roller electrodes, can also be selectively used, and thus various massage effects can be selectively provided in accordance with the condition of a patient's skin, and the effect of the high frequency treatment can be maximized by means of the various massage effects.

Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations for inductive heating of a foreign metallic implant are disclosed. A foreign metallic implant may be heated via AMF pulses to ensure that the surface of the foreign metallic implant heats in a uniform manner. As the surface temperature of the foreign metallic implant rises, acoustic signatures may be detected by acoustic sensors that may indicate that tissue may be heating to an undesirable level approaching a boiling point. Once these acoustic signatures are detected, the AMF pulses may be shut off for a time period to allow the surface temperature of the implant to cool before applying additional AMF pulses. In this manner, the surface temperature of a foreign metallic implant may be uniformly heated to a temperature adequate to treat bacterial biofilm buildup on the surface of the foreign metallic implant without damaging surrounding tissue. The AMF pulse treatment can be combined with an antibacterial/antimicrobial treatment regimen to reduce the time and/or antibacterial dosage amount needed to remove the biofilm from the metallic implant.

A treatment device for providing a magnetic treatment and a radiofrequency treatment to a body area of a patient. The device includes an energy storage device for storing electric energy, a magnetic field generating device, and a switching device to discharge the electrical energy from the energy storage device to the magnetic field generating device, such that a time-varying magnetic field is generated and provides muscle contraction to a muscle in the body area of the patient. The time-varying magnetic field may have a magnetic field density in a range of 0.1 Tesla to 7 Tesla and a repetition rate in a range of 0.1 Hz to 700 Hz. The device may also include a radiofrequency electrode to generate radiofrequency waves to heat a tissue in the body of the patient. A body of the radiofrequency electrode may include a plurality of openings in a range of 5 to 1000 openings.

Proposed is an RF electrode cartridge for skin beauty care treatment and a handpiece for skin beauty care treatment provided with the same. While being freely tilted for all ranges of 360 angle degrees around a ball joint part 140 within a radius thereof, the RF electrode body 120 moves in a state of being brought into close contact with the skin during the procedure, thereby preventing an accident that may occur while the RF electrode body 120 is spaced apart from the skin and in which damage to the skin tissue or burns to the skin may be caused. Accordingly, the present disclosure may greatly improve safety during a procedure.

Disclosed a device for body contouring treatment. The device includes a layer of electrically conductive material, bound by a frame with cooling fluid conducting channels; a ceramic material layer with first side configured to contact conductive material layer and a second side configured to contact a treated skin surface; and wherein the dimensions of the ceramic material layer exceed the dimensions of the layer of electrically conductive material by at least 5 mm in each direction.

Control systems and methods for delivery of energy that may include control algorithms that prevent energy delivery if a fault is detected and may provide energy delivery to produce a substantially constant temperature at a delivery site. In some embodiments, the control systems and methods may be used to control the delivery of energy, such as radiofrequency energy, to body tissue, such as lung tissue.

The present disclosure relates to an acupoint stimulation device and an acupoint stimulation method using the same. The acupoint stimulation device includes: a power supply unit configured to supply power; a controller configured to generate an electrical stimulus signal applied to a skin of the subject; and an electrical stimulation unit including two or more electrodes configured to receive power from the power supply unit and to supply the stimulus signal to the acupoint area, wherein the electrodes are arranged in a state of being electrically insulated from each other and are in electrical contact with the skin of the subject. Thereby, it is possible to provide an appropriate amount of stimulation required for treatment and symptom relief by providing stimulation to an accurate acupoint position.

An apparatus for damaging or killing cancer cells in a living human body comprising a temperature monitoring apparatus that allows a user to monitor the temperature of a tumor and the surrounding tissue, such that when the tumor is at a temperature greater than the surrounding tissue, either because that is the nature of the tumor or because the tumor temperature has been raised through the introduction of an organic substance, an energy source may be used to elevate the temperature of the tumor above a critical temperature that damages or kills the tumor, but does not kill the surrounding non-cancerous cells because they start off at a lower temperature and are never allowed to go above the critical temperature that damages or kills those non-cancerous cells.
