Apparatus and Method for Treatment of Wounds and Skin Medical Conditions at a Predetermined Skin Area
A system for for treatment of wounds consists of a treatment housing, a fluid delivery mechanism for supplying debridement fluids to the wound treatment area, an evacuation mechanism for evacuation of debris from the treatment chamber. A handheld device is connected to the treatment housing, wherein its interior accommodates a laser source, a scanning device, an image recording device and at least one sensors/detectors, a control unit having a microprocessor for controlling operation of the system. The sensors detect concentration of various substances in the wound, and microprocessor analyzes data obtained by the sensors and generates signals to adjust parameters of the laser, the liquid dispensing nozzles and the suction outlet to optimize removal of necrotic tissue so as to ultimately to promote wound healing.

Skin treatment apparatus using fractional plasma
The present invention relates to a skin treatment apparatus using plasma, in which a plasma generator includes an electrode plate an upper dielectric body independent electrode parts and a lower dielectric body. The independent electrode parts are a plurality of pieces of silver paste or flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) which are spaced a certain distance apart from each other. According to the present invention, electrode parts operate independently to prevent a plasma concentration phenomenon and uniformly generate plasma. According to the present invention, a plasma generator configured as described above is easy to form in a convex shape, and a convex plasma generator is applicable to a curved region of the skin to be treated, e.g., a palm. Furthermore, the convex plasma generator is capable of more uniformly generating plasma and is particularly effective for treatment of a long and round cylindrical object to be treated, e.g., the vagina of a woman.
Internal organ, injury and pain treatment
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, ulcer, closed wound, internal injury, inflammation. and nerves.
SENSOR SHEET WITH DIGITAL DISTRIBUTED DATA ACQUISITION FOR WOUND MONITORING AND TREATMENT
A wound monitoring and/or therapy apparatus can include multiple sensor circuits, a selection circuit coupled to each sensor circuit, and a processor configured to be in communication with the selection circuit. Each sensor circuit can process multiple sensor signals to generate a single output signal from the multiple sensor signals. Each of the sensor signals can correspond to a measurement of a sensor positioned on a substrate that is configured to be positioned at least partially in a wound. The selection circuit can receive the single output signals from the sensor circuits and outputs a selected single output signal. The processor can receive the selected single output signal and decomposes the selected signal output signal into the multiple sensor signals used to generate the selected single output signal. The processor can activate sensors and receive sensor data from the sensors. The processor can digitize the sensor data and transmit the digitized sensor data to a remote controller.
