The present invention relates, in general, to ultrasonic surgical instruments and, more particularly, to an intracorporeal ultrasonic surgical instrument for sonodynamic therapy. Disclosed is an ultrasonic surgical system (25) comprising: a generator (10) and an instrument (50) comprising: a housing (74); a transducer (65); a semi-permeable membrane (55); a pharmaceutical agent (75); and an agent delivery system (77). The transducer (65) is adapted to convert the electrical energy of the generator into mechanical energy. The pharmaceutical agent (75), delivered into a chamber of the semi-permeable membrane (55), is driven through the semi-permeable membrane (55) by the mechanical energy. A method in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of: providing a surgical instrument (25) comprising: a housing (74); a transducer (65) connected to the housing (74); a semi-permeable membrane (55); a pharmaceutical agent (75); and an agent delivery system (77); inserting the surgical instrument into a patient; delivering a drug to the patient; and locally activating the drug with the surgical instrument (25).

La présente invention se rapporte aux instruments chirurgicaux à ultrasons en général, et à un instrument chirurgical à ultrasons intra-corporel destiné à la thérapie sonodynamique en particulier. L'invention concerne un système chirurgical à ultrasons comprenant un générateur et un instrument comprenant un boîtier, un transducteur, une membrane semi-perméable, un agent pharmaceutique et un système de distribution dudit agent. Le transducteur est conçu pour transformer l'énergie électrique fournie par le générateur en énergie mécanique. L'agent pharmaceutique, apporté dans une chambre située dans la membrane semi-perméable, est acheminé à travers la membrane semi-perméable au moyen de l'énergie mécanique. Un procédé selon l'invention comprend les étapes consistant à : fournir un instrument chirurgical comprenant un boîtier, un transducteur connecté au boîtier, une membrane semi-perméable, un agent pharmaceutique et un système de distribution dudit agent ; insérer l'instrument chirurgical à l'intérieur d'un patient ; administrer un médicament à ce dernier ; activer localement le médicament au moyen de l'instrument chirurgical.
