    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for an ultrasonic medical device having a flexible material engaging an ultrasonic probe. The flexible material surrounds a portion of a longitudinal axis of an ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic medical device. The flexible material may extend beyond a probe tip. The flexible material cushions a tip of the ultrasonic probe and reduces the stresses on the ultrasonic probe as the ultrasonic probe is navigated within the vasculature. The ultrasonic probe may be shaped to increase a radial span of the ultrasonic medical device. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flexible material comprises a polymer material. Additionally, the flexible material may have a high radiopacity.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for using an ultrasonic medical device to reinforce bone. An ultrasonic medical device ablates a marrow in a bone to create a channel in the bone for injection of a bone supporting compound to reinforce and strengthen the bone. An ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic medical device is inserted through an introducer and into the bone to engage the marrow. An ultrasonic energy source is activated to provide an ultrasonic energy to the ultrasonic probe to ablate the marrow. The ultrasonic probe is moved within the bone to ablate the marrow in the bone and create the channel in the bone. A bone supporting compound is injected into the channel to reinforce the bone.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for using an ultrasonic medical device to treat chronic total occlusions comprises an ultrasonic probe, a transducer, a coupling engaging a proximal end of the ultrasonic probe to a distal end of the transducer and an ultrasonic energy source engaged to the transducer. The ultrasonic probe is inserted into a vasculature and placed in communication with the chronic total occlusion. The ultrasonic energy source produces an ultrasonic energy that is transmitted to the transducer, where the transducer creates a transverse ultrasonic vibration along the ultrasonic probe. The transverse ultrasonic vibration creates a plurality of transverse nodes and a plurality of transverse anti-nodes along the longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic probe, creating cavitation along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic probe to ablate the chronic total occlusion.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for an ultrasonic medical device having an ultrasonic probe with a small proximal end to facilitate over the ultrasonic probe exchanges in a time efficient manner. The ultrasonic probe is inserted into a vasculature and moved to a treatment site of an occlusion. A coupling engaging the ultrasonic probe to a transducer is disengaged to expose a small diameter at the proximal end of the ultrasonic probe. A vascular intervention device is placed over the small diameter at the proximal end and moved along a longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic probe while the ultrasonic probe remains in an approximately fixed position in the vasculature. In a preferred embodiment, the ultrasonic probe acts a guidewire for over the ultrasonic probe exchanges of various vascular intervention devices.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for an ultrasonic medical device operating in a torsional mode to treat a biological material. An ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic medical device is placed in communication with the biological material. An ultrasonic energy source is activated to produce an electrical signal that drives a transducer to produce a torsional vibration of the ultrasonic probe. The torsional vibration produces a rotation and a counterrotation along the longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic probe that creates a plurality of torsional nodes and a plurality of torsional anti-nodes along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic probe resulting in cavitation along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the ultrasonic probe comprising a radially asymmetric cross section that ablates the biological material.
