Abstract: An ultrasound apparatus of a body cavity insertable type includes: a handpiece; a supporting rod that is elongated from the handpiece; an ultrasound probe that includes a housing that is connected to the supporting rod and an ultrasound transducer that is fixed to the housing; and an ultrasound transmission medium circulation mechanism that is configured to discharge an ultrasound transmission medium filled in an ultrasound transmission space that is formed at a front of the ultrasound transducer and to inflow the discharged ultrasound transmission medium to the ultrasound transmission space again. The housing and the ultrasound transducer are configured such that the ultrasound transmission medium filled in the ultrasound transmission space is prevented from inflowing to a rear space of the ultrasound transducer.

Abstract: Provided is a 4th generation linear-focused-type high-intensity focused ultrasound system using 4th generation linear-focused-type high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in which an element array plate is formed in two stages and may be selectively used depending on a specific part of the human body. When the system is used for a deep area or a thin area depending on a specific part of the human body, a first stage and a second stage are selectively used, or the first stage and the second stage are used at the same time for intensive irradiation.

Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical instrument including a blade that treats tissue and a fluid control system to cool the blade by pumping cooling fluid through the blade. The blade defines a blade lumen in fluid contact with an inflow and return conduit of the fluid control system. The fluid control system may further include a fluid reservoir holding the cooling fluid and a pump. The pump is configured to deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir, through the inflow conduit and the blade lumen, and into return conduit.

Abstract: Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions (such as dry eye) or improving ocular health by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. Generally, the devices may be handheld or implantable. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs. When the devices and systems are used to treat dry eye, nasal or sinus tissue may be stimulated to increase tear production, reduce the symptoms of dry eye, and/or improve ocular surface health.

Abstract: Structures and methods for ultrasound treatment of neurological and psychological conditions, using energy levels which do not cause heating or cavitation. The structure includes an outer casing comprising a first material, and a disk positioned inside the outer casing. The disk comprises a second material that differs in composition from the first material and that has a higher acoustic attenuation of ultrasound energy than the first material.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate confirmation that an affected part has been accurately irradiated with therapeutic ultrasonic waves in therapy using an ultrasonic therapeutic device. A control unit executes a therapeutic ultrasonic wave transmission process, an irradiation region image generation process, and a B-mode image generation process. The therapeutic ultrasonic wave transmission process causes an ultrasonic vibrator to transmit therapeutic ultrasonic waves. The irradiation region image generation process causes an ultrasonic probe to transmit a plurality of ultrasonic waves at different timings, synthesizes a plurality of received signals based on the plurality of ultrasonic waves that are reflected by biological tissue and received by the ultrasonic probe, and generates irradiation region data based on harmonic components of the received signals. The B-mode image generation process uses any one of the plurality of received signals to generate B-mode image data of the biological tissue.

Abstract: Provided herein are noninvasive stimulation methods and apparatus for the treatment of injury to tissues using a novel pulsed laser system that combines the benefits of near-infrared laser light and optoacoustic waves. In certain embodiments, short, high-energy laser light pulses generate low intensity ultrasound waves that travel deep into brain tissues to stimulate neural function and treat neurological dysfunctions. In certain embodiments, a patient interface is provided wherein optoacoustic waves are produced by a plurality of optical absorbers overlying all of a plurality of optical fibers while in other embodiments optoacoustic waves are generated both inside the tissue and outside the tissue via a plurality of optical absorbers overlying some but not all of the optical fibers thus enabling an option of varying proportions of optoacoustic waves generated inside and outside of tissue.
