An apparatus for cleansing wounds in which irrigant fluid from a reservoir connected to a conformable wound dressing and wound exudate from the dressing are moved by a device (which may be a single pump or two pumps) for moving fluid through a flow path which passes through the dressing and a means for providing simultaneous aspiration and irrigation of the wound. The apparatus also comprises means to apply high frequency vibrational energy, e.g. ultrasound, to the wound bed. The former removes materials deleterious to wound healing, while distributing materials that are beneficial in promoting wound healing over the wound bed. The latter promotes healing. The dressing and a method of treatment using the apparatus.

One embodiment is directed to a non-contact, medical ultrasound therapy system for generating and controlling low frequency ultrasound for the delivery of fluids containing biologic or cellular materials. The ultrasound therapy system includes a treatment wand including an ultrasonic transducer, a generator unit, and a cable coupling the treatment wand to the generator unit. The generator unit generates electric power output to drive the ultrasonic transducer and includes a digital frequency generator.

In accordance with the present disclosure, ultrasound-based techniques using a combined scanning and treatment array module are employed to find and treat anomalies corresponding to bleed events. By way of example, ultrasound data may be acquired with a scanning array at one or more locations on a patient anatomy. A treatment array may deliver heat to a targeted anomaly to provide therapy. Such a technique may be useful outside of a hospital environment.

The present invention is directed to an ultrasound device for use in implementing therapeutic treatments and transdermal analyte delivery. The device includes a piezoelectric transducer that efficiently and safely converts electrical energy to ultrasonic waves, and has a unique structure including a piezoelectric element positioned between two opposing, flexible concave covers. The device may be used for various therapeutic purposes including wound healing, tissue stimulation and transdermal analyte delivery. The invention is further directed to a novel analyte delivery system including the ultrasound device and an encapsulated analyte.

A device which utilizes low intensity extracorporeal shock therapy for purposes of treating soft tissue damage, cellulite reduction, or erectile dysfunction, to permit a simple, inexpensive, robust, home use solution which permits self-applied treatment for various parts of the user's body with a form factor, display, information, guidance, tutorials and training, marketing communication and purchase opportunities, viewing angle, timers, annunciators, sound attenuation, and payment options which provide an untrained amateur user with all tools and guidance necessary to properly, effectively, safely and affordably self-administer treatments.

A method of treating a patient having an inflammation, infection from bacteria or molds or fungi or virus or cancerous cells by destroying bacteria or molds or fungi or virus or cancerous cells is disclosed. The method comprising the step of directing one or more sound wave treatments into the patient targeting the inflammation, infection, mold, virus, bacteria or fungi to cause a body to identify these as foreign objects and trigger the body's own natural healing mechanisms to destroy the foreign objects.

A wearable treatment and analysis module is provided. The module is positioned on or near a body surface region of interest. The module provides remote access to sensor data, treatment administration, and/or other health care regimens via a network connection with a user device and/or management system.

Ultrasound (US) apparatus and method for applying low energy US onto an internal tissue/organ, including a non-invasive US appliance used on a treatment region over the internal tissue/organ, and an electrical stimulation apparatus for simultaneously inducing interferential electrical stimulation. A controller controls parameters of the electrical stimulation apparatus and the US appliance, and dynamically changes at least one of the parameters, for maintaining the impedance of the body tissue in the treatment region within an impedance range. The US apparatus includes an impedance monitoring apparatus for continuously measuring, tracking, and monitoring impedance in the treatment region, wherein the controller dynamically changes at least one of the parameter in response to the impedance as monitored, for maintaining the impedance within the predefined range. The internal tissue/organ can be a female fertility organ which can be an ovarian follicle, a blood vessel of the uterus (womb), the ovary, the endometrial lining, and the Fallopian tube; a lung, a pulmonary organ, an adipose tissue, ulcer, closed wound, internal injury, inflammation. and nerves.

Various embodiments provide methods and systems for ultrasound treatment of tissue are provided. Accordingly, a method can include locating an implant in a site in a body, directing a medicant to at least one of the implant and the site, directing ultrasound energy to the site, and accelerating healing of the implant and/or native tissue at the site.

A system for individualized treatment of a tissue condition with acoustic pressure shocks includes personalized determination and automatic adjustment of a shock wave treatment regimen or shock wave dosage to be administered for personalized treatment based on factors such as a patient's comorbidities, state of the tissue condition, individual physical characteristics and lifestyle parameters.
