Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a skin cooling apparatus for a high intensity focusing type ultrasound (HIFU) apparatus, and more particularly, to a skin cooling apparatus for a high intensity focusing type ultrasound (HIFU) apparatus, To a skin cooling apparatus for a HIFU apparatus which can be operated in a convenient manner and which can perform both pre-cooling and post-cooling for a treatment site.
In recent years, as the diet has become westernized, obesity has rapidly increased, leading to the greatest harm to public health and beauty. Various dietary programs and ultrasonic obesity treatment apparatuses have been developed and widely used for treating this problem.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive method for the treatment of cancer cells by selectively coagulating the internal organs and destroying cancer cells. However, in the United States, (Liposonix) equipped with HIFU for the first time. The process of fat destruction using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is that when the ultrasound is focused at a certain point in the adipose tissue, the tissue temperature instantaneously rises from 65 ° C to 100 ° C, causing tissue destruction. Unlike other dermatological equipment, such as laser and RF high frequency equipment, the HIFU equipment concentrates HIFU energy on non-invasively selected areas without causing any damage to the skin surface to induce coagulation necrosis do. These necrotic adipocytes are naturally removed by our body's repair mechanism.
Known ultrasonic obesity treatment apparatuses include 'Apparatus and method for destroying adipose tissue' filed as Application No. 10-2007-7027898. No. 10-2007-7027898 discloses an ultrasonic transducer comprising a scan head having at least one ultrasonic transducer, a suspending device for supporting the scan head, and a controller for controlling the ultrasonic transducer, To treat obesity. The 'tissue imaging and treatment system' filed with the application No. 10-2011-7017983 includes a hand-operated hand wand, a removable emitter-receiver module with an ultrasonic transducer, and a hand- The image is displayed on the display, and in the treatment mode, ultrasonic waves of 3mm ~ 4.5mm (SMAS layer) beneath the surface of the skin are given to give elasticity to the skin and improve the wrinkles.
On the other hand, in the case of a laser device or a high-frequency device, since a heat is generated when a laser or a high-frequency wave is generated, a cooling device for dissipating the heat is used. That is, in the 'medical irradiator for controlling the temperature of the high power laser diode and the contact tip' disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0073070, a Peltier device is attached to four surfaces of the aluminum contact tip to cool the contact chip . A laser irradiation unit having a skin contact cooling system disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0097308 discloses a laser irradiation unit having a skin contactor for cooling the skin by contacting the affected part of the patient. The 'skin cooling handpiece' disclosed in the publication No. 10-2015-0026704 discloses a skin cooling handpiece which changes the state of cooling gas injection according to the laser output state.
The skin cooling system is a contact type that uses a non-contact type by cold wind and a crystal with a good temperature conductivity while having a low refractive index such as sapphire and uses an electric cooling method such as a thermoelectric element (TEC) However, the conventional skin cooling device has a problem that the cooling device is permanently attached to the central sapphire crystal or the glass window and can not be replaced as needed.
In addition, the conventional skin cooling apparatus has been mainly used in a laser type treatment apparatus, and has not been used in the HIFU system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a high intensity focusing type ultrasound (HIFU) apparatus which can be attached to and detached from a handpiece or a cartridge, So that it is easy to use and can carry out both pre-cooling and post-cooling for the treatment area.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for use in a high intensity focusing type ultrasound handpiece including a cooling tip that surrounds a cartridge mounted on a high intensity focusing type ultrasonic handpiece, And a detachable member for detachably attaching to the main body.
The cooling tip includes a cooling block surrounding the outside of the cartridge and a cooling module provided in the cooling block to cool the cooling block. The cooling module is provided in the cooling block, and when power is supplied, A cooling water circulating passage through which cooling water circulates, and a water block contacting the other side of the thermoelectric element to cool the thermoelectric element.
The apparatus includes a main body including a water circulation pump for circulating cooling water to the water block, a heat sink for cooling the cooling water recovered by the water circulation pump, and a cable connecting the main body and the cooling tip . ≪ / RTI >
Wherein the detachable member includes a tip replacement member detachably connecting the cooling module and the cable and a fastening member for mounting the cooling tip to the handpiece or the cartridge, A flowing pipe was opened.
A water circulation pump for circulating the cooling water of the cooling tip, and a cooling member for cooling the water recovered by the water circulation pump, and a water hose connecting the main body and the pipe inside the cooling tip . ≪ / RTI >
Wherein the detachable member includes a tip replacement member detachably connecting the cooling tip and the water hose and a fastening member for mounting the cooling tip to the handpiece or the cartridge, In order to improve the feel at the time, one of plating, silicon, and Teflon is coated.
The skin cooling apparatus for a HIFU according to the present invention is a detachable structure that can be inserted / removed into a handpiece or a cartridge, so that the cooling tip can be easily replaced. Accordingly, various types of cooling tips are prepared corresponding to cartridges of various sizes and shapes There is an advantage that it can be selected and used according to need.
In addition, the skin cooling device according to the present invention cools the skin of the treatment area in all directions, rather than cooling the handpiece or the cartridge, and performs pre-cooling before the operation and post-cooling after the operation So that the pain can be reduced and the image can be prevented.
According to the present invention, when the cooling tip is fastened to the handpiece or the cartridge, the high-intensity focusing type ultrasonic device handpiece and the cooling tip are integrated so that the operation can be performed with only one hand during the operation.
