    摘要: A method of skin rejuvenation by thermal ablation using high intensity focused ultrasound energy includes the steps of positioning an ultrasound emitting member adjacent an external surface of the skin, emitting ultrasound energy from the ultrasound emitting member into the skin, focusing the ultrasound energy in the skin, ablating the skin with the focused ultrasound energy to form an ablated tissue area below the external surface of the skin containing unablated tissue of the skin and a plurality of lesions at which the tissue of the skin is ablated, and removing the ultrasound emitting member from adjacent the external surface of the skin. The lesions cause collagen production by the skin to be stimulated. The lesions can begin and end at predetermined depths beneath the external surface of the skin so that the epidermis and the deep layer of the dermis are not damaged.

    摘要: A drill guide for positioning on a surface of a bone includes a projection for penetrating the bone, an abutment for engaging the surface of the bone to ensure penetration of the bone by the projection to a predetermined depth, less than the length of the projection, and a pair of guide passages having central longitudinal axes, respectively, converging at a predetermined point in the bone when the projection penetrates the bone to the predetermined depth. A kit for fixating soft tissue to bone includes a drill guide, a drill bit, a suture and a suture passer. The drill bit is insertable in a pair of guide passages of the drill guide to cut first and second passages converging in the bone to define a continuous tunnel. The suture passer has a portion for being introduced in the tunnel to engage the suture externally of the bone such that the suture is drawn through the tunnel when the suture passer is withdrawn therefrom. A method of fixating soft tissue to bone includes the steps of penetrating a bone with a projection of a drill guide, engaging the bone with an abutment of the drill guide to ensure penetration of the bone by the projection to a predetermined depth, introducing a drill bit through a pair of guide passages of the drill guide and into the bone to form first and second passages converging in the bone to define a continuous tunnel, introducing a suture passer into the tunnel such that a suture engaging member of the suture passer protrudes externally of the bone, engaging a suture with the suture engaging member, withdrawing the suture passer from the tunnel to draw the suture through the tunnel and using the suture to fixate soft tissue to the bone.
