The present invention relates to a therapeutic ultrasonic wave generating device. The present invention includes: a rotating motor; an ultrasonic wave generating unit being provided with a transducer generating ultrasonic waves; and a focus rotation movement unit moving the focus of the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic wave generating unit in a circle on the same plane by receiving a transmission of rotational force of the rotating motor. The present invention enables: the focus of ultrasonic waves to be moved in the circle having a constant radius at a uniform depth under the skin; and energy to be applied uniformly and evenly within the movement radius, thereby enabling enhancement of therapeutic performance.

The present disclosure is directed to methods of treating subject patients (such as humans, animals, plants) suffering from a pathogenic disease such as COVID-19 in humans, via the administration of pressure changes in the patient sufficient to cause a pressure differential to be created between the inside and outside of the outer membrane or envelope of the pathogen thereby destroying or disabling the pathogen. In one embodiment, a hyperbaric chamber is used to administer pressure increases and/or pressure decreases to create such pressure differential. The hyperbaric chamber could comprise a single user or multi-user unit, a pressurized body suit, or the pressurizable fuselage of an aircraft. In another embodiment, patients are placed in an aircraft, and the cabin pressure, while on the ground, or in flight, is adjusted upwardly or downwardly to create such pressure differential. The pressure differential methods can also include the use of external gases to enter the patient's body and/or lungs to facilitate disruption of the pathogen outer membrane as well as application of variations in temperature and/or humidity. A mobile treatment unit is also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using ultrasonic cavitation or MRI (or other sonic or magnetic field forces sufficient to disrupt the functionality of the pathogen), or a combination of ultrasound and MRI on the exterior of a patient in a desired anatomical region of the patient to assist with the destruction or disabling of a pathogen infecting that anatomical region of the patient, e.g., the patient's lungs, said method being employed at ambient pressures or in an increased or decreased pressure environment created within a hyperbaric chamber. The ultrasound and/or MRI methodologies could also be used to treat other pathogenically afflicted areas of the patient's body. Additionally, a pressure-differential method of sterilization of medical equipment is disclosed employing a hyperbaric or other pressure or vacuum chamber. Also disclosed is an enhanced method of nonsurgical fat reduction in humans by employing ultrasonic cavitation within a hyperbaric chamber, including the use of HBOT therapies. Furthermore, the use of these methodologies and systems have application in treatment of patients post-infection and in other areas of medicine and health, such as for example, treating wounds, the effects of aging, inflammation, and the effects of other maladies.

Methods and systems for treating skin, such as stretch marks through deep tissue tightening with ultrasound are provided. An exemplary method and system comprise a therapeutic ultrasound system configured for providing ultrasound treatment to a shallow tissue region, such as a region comprising an epidermis, a dermis or a deep dermis. In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, a therapeutic ultrasound system can be configured to achieve depth with a conformal selective deposition of ultrasound energy without damaging an intervening tissue. In addition, a therapeutic ultrasound can also be configured in combination with ultrasound imaging or imaging/monitoring capabilities, either separately configured with imaging, therapy and monitoring systems or any level of integration thereof.

A system and method for controlling acoustic energy deposition in various media or objects are disclosed. The system and method can generate an acousto-mechanical or acousto-elastic effect in the various media or objects. The acousto-mechanical or acousto-elastic effect can induce a fragmentation of the media or objects.

Devices and methods for performing subcutaneous surgery in a minimally invasive manner are provided. The methods include application of reduced air pressure in a recessed area of a handpiece placed over a section of skin and drawing the section of skin and subcutaneous tissue into the recessed area. In a subsequent step a tool is inserted through a tool conduit in the handpiece and through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue, enabling the performance of the desired surgery. Common surgical procedures include dissection and ablation . The devices and methods can be directed at the treatment of skin conditions like atrophic scars, wrinkles, or other cosmetic issues, at treatments like or promoting wound healing or preventing hyperhidrosis, or can be used for creating space for various implants.

Methods for treating skin and subcutaneous tissue with energy such as ultrasound energy are disclosed. In various embodiments, ultrasound energy is applied at a region of interest to affect tissue by cutting, ablating, micro-ablating, coagulating, or otherwise affecting the subcutaneous tissue to conduct numerous procedures that are traditionally done invasively in a non-invasive manner. Methods of lifting sagging tissue are described.

The present invention relates to an ultrasonic wave generating cartridge which comprises: a cartridge housing; an ultrasonic wave generating unit which is disposed so as to be able to move in a reciprocating manner in the cartridge housing; and a position detection unit which can detect the real-time position of the ultrasonic wave generating unit by sending a transmission signal to the movement path of the ultrasonic wave generating unit.

A method can include targeting a region of interest below a surface of skin, which contains fat lobuli and delivering ultrasound energy to the region of interest. The ultrasound energy generates a conformal lesion with said ultrasound energy on a surface of a fat lobuli. The lesion creates an opening in the surface of the fat which allows the draining of a fluid out of the fat lobuli and through the opening. In addition, by applying ultrasound energy to fat cells to increase the temperature to between 43° C. and 49° C. degrees, cell apoptosis can be realized, thereby resulting in reduction of fat.

A catheter includes multiple shock wave generators electrically controlled to produce shock waves simultaneously, sequentially or in pre-determined patterns for intracorporeal treatment of blood vessels.

An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.
