CA 2212540

This invention relates to apparatus and methods for providing and using a gel containment structure with an ultrasonic delivery system. The apparatus includes a special bladder (10), pad or other enclosure means for positioning adjacent the transmitting surface (22) so that the coupling gel is retained adjacent the transmitting surface (22). The method for delivering ultrasonic energy includes enclosing coupling gel at the transmitting surface (22), positioning the enclosed coupling gel against the skin or other external location corresponding to the internal injury, and directing ultrasonic waves emitted at the transmitting surface (22) through the enclosed conducting gel to the skin location corresponding to the internal injury.

Cette invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour réaliser et utiliser une structure de retenue d'un gel avec un système d'émission d'ultrasons. L'appareil comprend une vessie spéciale (10), un coussinet ou une autre structure de retenue positionnée près de la surface de transmission (22) de sorte que le gel de couplage soit retenu près de la surface de transmission (22). Le procédé pour administrer une énergie ultrasonique consiste à enfermer le gel de couplage au niveau de la surface de transmission (22), positionner le gel de couplage enfermé contre la peau ou en un emplacement externe correspondant à une blessure interne et diriger les ultrasons émis à la surface de transmission (22) à travers le gel conducteur enfermé, vers l'emplacement de la peau correspondant à la blessure interne.
