CA 2374568

The invention relates to apparatus and method for ultrasonically and electromagnetically treating tissue to treat, for example, traumatized tissue or a bone injury. The apparatus includes at least one ultrasonic transducer assembly (26) and at least one electromagnetic coil assembly (28) configured to cooperate with a placement module for placement in proximity to the treatment area. The apparatus also utilizes a portable main operating unit constructed to fit within a pouch or carrying case worn by the patient. In operation, at least one ultrasonic transducer and at least one elecromagnetic coil are activated by transmitting control signals to the placement module from the main operating unit. The activation of the at least one ultrasonic transducer causes ultrasonic waves to be propagated toward the treatment area which are modulated by electrostatic and magnetic forces generated by the at least one electromagnetic coil. The activation of the at least one ultrasonic transducer and the at least one electromagnetic coil may be performed at the same time or at different times for varying periods.

L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé de traitement ultrasonique et électromagnétique de tissus par exemple de tissus traumatisés ou de lésions de l'os. L'appareil comporte au moins un transducteur d'ultrasons (26) et au moins une bobine électromagnétique (28) conçus pour s'adapter à un support permettant de les placer à proximité de la zone à traiter. L'appareil comprend également une unité principale de commande tenant dans une pochette ou un étui porté par le patient. La mise en marche du ou des transducteur ou de la ou des bobines est commandée par des signaux adressés par l'unité principale au support. L'activation du ou des transducteurs entraîne la propagation vers la zone à traiter d'ultrasons modulés par les forces électrostatiques et magnétiques produites par la ou les bobines. L'activation du ou des transducteurs et de la ou des bobines peut se faire simultanément ou non et pendant des périodes variables.
