An end-effector configured and dimensioned for being connected to an ultrasound surgical device is provided. The end-effector includes means for receiving ultrasound waves generated and propagated by the ultrasound surgical device, and means for debriding tissue on a wound surface. The means for debriding tissue includes at least one non-smooth surface; and means for propagating the received ultrasound waves to the at least one non-smooth surface for vibrating the at least one non-smooth surface, wherein the at least one non-smooth vibrating surface is configured to contact and debride tissue on the wound surface. A method is further provided for debriding wound tissue including the steps of providing ultrasound waves to a non~smooth surface configured for debriding, propagating the ultrasound waves to cause vibration of the non-smooth surface, and contacting the vibrating surface configured for debriding with the wound tissue.

Cette invention utilise un organe effecteur qui est conçu et dimensionné pour être relié à un instrument chirurgical à ultrasons. Cet organe effecteur comprend un moyen destiné à recevoir les ondes ultrasonores produites et propagées par l'instrument chirurgical à ultrasons, ainsi qu'un moyen servant à débrider les tissus sur la surface d'une plaie. Ce moyen servant à débrider les tissus comprend au moins une surface non lisse, et un moyen servant à propager les ondes ultrasonores reçues jusqu'à cette surface non lisse, afin de faire vibrer cette surface non lisse. La surface non lisse ainsi mise en vibration est conçue pour venir en contact avec les tissus se trouvant à la surface de la plaie et pour débrider ces tissus. Cette invention concerne en outre un procédé pour débrider les tissus d'une plaie, ce procédé consistant à appliquer des ondes ultrasonores à une surface non lisse prévue pour effectuer l'opération de débridement, à propager ces ondes ultrasonores pour faire vibrer la surface non lisse, et à mettre en contact avec les tissus de la plaie la surface ainsi mise en vibration pour permettre le débridement.
