Description

[0001] ULTRASONIC THERAPY DEVICE [0002]

The present invention relates to an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus, which comprises an insulator between an oscillator for generating an ultrasonic wave and a body part to prevent electrical stimulation from being transmitted to a patient's skin during a treatment process, And is capable of cooling an exothermic ultrasonic treatment apparatus.

The ultrasonic treatment device converts electric energy generated from the inside of the treatment device into living body energy and generates heat in the deep part through the energy generated thereby to enhance natural healing power and resistance in the human body and to be used for various purposes such as skin treatment and hair loss prevention It is a possible medical device.

To explain the energy conversion process of the ultrasonic wave treatment apparatus, electric energy is generated from the body and ultrasonic waves are generated by vibrating the vibrator (piezo element) in the ultrasonic wave treatment apparatus. The mechanical energy of such ultrasonic waves is converted into bioenergy through contact with the skin of the patient, and thereby the skin and the like can be treated.

However, in the conventional ultrasonic treatment apparatus, electric energy is generated in the treatment process, and thus the electric stimulation is transmitted to the patient during the contact with the skin of the patient.

In addition, since the heat is generated in the process of generating ultrasonic waves by the vibrator, if the treatment is continued in an exothermic state, there is a risk of burning the contact area, which has a limitation in improving the therapeutic effect.

Related patents for solving these problems are Korean Patent Registration Nos. 1117825 and 1054828. 117825 is an invention relating to a high frequency treatment device capable of being insulated from both sides, and No. 1054828 is an invention relating to a cooling water circulation structure for preventing heat generation.
