A dermal device for providing ultrasound therapy to skin is provided including: a transducer assembly including housing structure having an inner surface defining a void and configured to contact an outer portion of an area of skin of a user without contacting an inner portion of the area of skin; and an ultrasound transducer supported by the housing and configured to be disposed proximate the void, wherein the ultrasound transducer is configured to provide ultrasound energy with a focal point towards the skin.

A catheter that fits within a blood vessel wall includes electrodes aligned along a longitudinal axis of the catheter that produce unfocused shock waves that propagate radially toward the blood vessel wall for treatment.

Systems and methods for sonicating a body within an organ of a patient include supplying ultrasound energy to the body in order to produce a liquified material, which can then be aspirated from the body via a catheter. Image guidance is used during aspiration of the liquified material.

A warming device and system for warming medical gel to a comfortable temperature prior to application to a patient. A warming chamber configured to receive one or more gel containers (e.g., packets or bottles) disposed in a horizontal orientation with a cover sealing the chamber. Multiple protrusions and/or depressions disposed on an inside surface of the chamber can be used to soften thermal conduction of heat to the gel containers and inhibit hot spots. A flexible heating element and an intermediate thermal conducting member can extend up one or more sides of the warming chamber. Multiple buttons can be used to set different gel temperature settings.

Disclosed herein is a non-invasive treatment system using intermedium, and an exemplary treatment system is configured to output high-intensity focused ultrasound to remove bone tissue, inject an acoustically-transparent medium into a part where the bone tissue is removed to generate an intermedium, and output therapeutic ultrasound that passes through the intermedium. Accordingly, the bone tissue is removed in a non-invasive way using high-intensity focused ultrasound, and the intermedium is generated at the bone tissue removed site, to increase the penetration of therapeutic ultrasound or generate ultrasound itself, thereby improving an ultrasound treatment effect while minimizing the side effect (for example, infection of dura mater) of invasive surgery methods.

An ultrasound transducer assembly is connectable to an ultrasound system and comprises one or more ultrasound transducer elements supported by a cap. The ultrasound transducer elements are operable to direct ultrasound energy toward brain tissue of a subject and/or to receive echo ultrasound energy when the ultrasound transducer assembly is mounted on the head of the subject. Some embodiments include a fillable jacket coupled to the inner surface of the cap and in acoustic contact with the one or more transducer elements.

A catheter that fits within a blood vessel wall includes electrodes aligned along a longitudinal axis of the catheter that produce unfocused shock waves that propagate radially toward the blood vessel wall for treatment.

The present disclosure relates to a chlorin derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a preparation method thereof, an anti-tumor composition including the chlorin derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, use of the chlorin derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the treatment of a tumor, and a combination of the chlorin derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an ultrasound medical system. The chlorin derivative or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has a structure represented by formula (I), and the ultrasonic medical system comprises a transducer ultrasonic bed and a contact agent. The chlorin derivative of the present disclosure can be used in photodynamic therapy and sonodynamic therapy, thereby effectively inhibiting and treating cancer.

An intracorporeal pressure shock wave includes an expandable pressure shock wave reflector at the distal end of an intracorporeal catheter to direct shock waves from a shock wave generator within a human or animal blood vessel or body lumen.

A device for automatically dispensing lubricating gel for medical procedures that reduces the chance of cross-contamination between patients by use of a shape that prevent accidental contact with the dispenser, anti-microbial materials, and a dispensing valve protection device.
