Definitions
- the present invention relates to a treatment device using high-frequency wave, and more specifically, to a treatment device using high-frequency wave that may treat skin tissues using high-frequency energy.
- Korean Patent Application Publication No. 201 0-01 01 420 discloses a treating device using high-frequency waves.
- the high-frequency wave treatment shows different effects depending on the position of the skin to which high-frequency wave energy is provided. Accordingly, in order to achieve the optimal treatment result, the position where high-frequency waves are applied needs to be varied depending on the purposes of treatment. However, it is difficult to conduct various surgical procedures with a single piece of equipment like the conventional high-frequency treatment.
- the present invention has been designed to address such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a treatment device using high-frequency wave that may provide high-frequency energy to various positions of the skin depending on the purpose of the surgical procedure.
- a treatment device using high-frequency wave comprising: a main body including a high-frequency wave generating unit; a contact-type hand piece detachably provided at a coupling unit of the main body, the contact-type hand piece having a first electrode unit that provides high-frequency energy generated from the high-frequency wave generating unit to a skin surface; an invasive hand piece detachably provided at a coupling unit of the main body, the invasive hand piece having a second electrode unit that provides high-frequency energy generated from the high-frequency wave generating unit to a portion under the skin, and a controller controlling high-frequency energy provided from the high-frequency wave generating unit to the first electrode unit or the second electrode unit.
- the treatment device using high-frequency wave may further comprise a sensing unit sensing the type of a hand piece connected with the coupling unit, of the contact-type hand piece and the invasive hand piece.
- the controller may compare a set operation mode with the type of the hand piece sensed by the sensing unit, and if determining that a hand piece corresponding to the set operation mode is not connected with the coupling unit, may generate an error signal.
- the controller may perform control so that high-frequency energy is not provided from the high-frequency wave generating unit to the hand piece.
- the controller may control the high-frequency wave generating unit in different modes from each other depending on the type of the hand piece sensed by the sensing unit.
- the contact-type hand piece may include a first sensor that senses a contact state between the first electrode unit and the skin, and if determining that the contact state between the first electrode unit and the skin is poor, based on information sensed by the first sensor, the controller may generate a contact-poor signal.
- the invasive hand piece may further include a driving unit that provides a driving force for allowing the second electrode unit to be inserted into the skin, and if determining that the set operation mode is not an operation mode corresponding to the invasive hand piece, the controller may perform control so that no driving force is provided from the driving unit to the second electrode unit.
- the second electrode unit may be exchangeably provided at the invasive hand piece, and the invasive hand piece may further include a second sensor that senses the type of the second electrode unit.
- the controller may compare the set operation mode with the type of the second electrode unit sensed by the second sensor, and if determining that the second electrode unit provided at the invasive hand piece does not correspond to the set operation mode, may generate an error signal. Or, the controller may control the high-frequency wave generating unit in different modes from each other depending on the type of the second electrode unit sensed by the second sensor.
- a treatment device using high-frequency wave comprising: a high-frequency wave generating unit provided in a main body; a contact-type hand piece connected to the main body, the contact-type hand piece having a first electrode unit that provides high-frequency energy generated from the high-frequency wave generating unit to a skin surface; an invasive hand piece connected to the main body, the invasive hand piece having a second electrode unit that provides high-frequency energy generated from the high-frequency wave generating unit to a portion under the skin; and a controller performing control so that high-frequency energy generated from the high-frequency wave generating unit is selectively provided to the first electrode unit or the second electrode unit.
- the treatment device using high-frequency wave may further comprise a sensing unit sensing the type of a hand piece used by a user, of the contact-type hand piece and the invasive hand piece.
- the controller may compare a set operation mode with the type of the hand piece sensed by the sensing unit, and if determining that a hand piece not corresponding to the set operation mode is being used, may generate an error signal.
- the controller may perform control so that high-frequency energy is not provided from the high-frequency wave generating unit to the hand piece.
- the controller may control the high-frequency wave generating unit in different modes from each other depending on the type of the hand piece sensed by the sensing unit.
- high-frequency energy may be applied to a proper position of the skin depending on the purpose of a surgical procedure. Accordingly, the effect of the surgical procedure may be enhanced. Further, various surgical procedures may be carried out with a single device, thus saving a user costs for purchasing treating devices.

- a coupling structure is provided at an end of each cable 200 a or 200 b so as to connect with the coupling unit 160 of the main body 100 . Accordingly, a user may conduct a surgical procedure, with the coupling unit 160 connected with the coupling structure of his desired one of the contact-type hand piece 300 and the invasive hand piece 400 . Further, for a different surgical procedure, the user may replace the coupled hand piece with the other hand piece while disconnecting the coupled hand piece from the coupling unit 160 .
- each hand piece has a separate cable and the coupling unit is provided on the outside surface of the main body.
- the cable may be connected to the main body and the cable unit may be provided at the end of the cable, so that each hand piece is connected to the cable of the main body.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the internal structure of the main body of FIG. 1 .
- the structure of the main body according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail with reference to FIG. 2 .
- the main body 100 includes various elements including a control panel 140 for a user to set an operation mode of the treatment device using high-frequency wave, a display 150 for displaying various pieces of information including the operations of the treating device to the user, and a high-frequency wave generating unit 110 for generating high-frequency energy.
- the main body also includes a controller 120 for controlling the elements.
- the controller 120 controls the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 and other elements so that an operation corresponding to the set operation mode is performed according to the mode. Further, the controller 120 may display, to the user through the display 150 , the operations performed by the treatment device using high-frequency wave and information sensed from various sensors.
- the main body 100 may include a sensing unit 130 for sensing the type of a hand piece connected to the coupling unit 160 .
- the sensing unit 130 is connected to the coupling unit 160 via, e.g., a signal line and identifies whether the hand piece currently connected with the main body 100 is the contact-type hand piece 300 or the invasive hand piece 400 .
- Information on the connected hand piece, sensed by the sensing unit 130 is transmitted to the controller 120 .
- the contact-type hand piece 300 that provides high-frequency energy to a surface of the skin and the invasive hand piece 400 that provides high-frequency energy to a portion under the skin have different configurations from each other and are configured to control all of wave generating modules 111 , 112 , and 113 .

- a circuit device such as a relay device 170 positioned on a path along which high-frequency energy is delivered to conduct various different control operations, such as, e.g., selectively blocking each path through which high-frequency energy is transferred or switching a path to another path.
- a hand piece not corresponding to a set operation mode is connected (for example, when a mode for using the invasive hand piece is set while the contact-type hand piece is coupled), a desired surgical procedure may be difficult to carry out, and the main body or hand piece may be damaged as well.
- the controller 120 compares a set operation mode with the type of the hand piece sensed by the sensing unit 130 , and if the coupled hand piece is not the one corresponding to the set operation mode, generates an error signal to alert the user. At this time, the error signal may be displayed on the screen through the display 150 , or may be delivered to the user as an alert sound.
- the controller 120 may control high-frequency energy not to be provided from the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 . Specifically, the controller 120 may forcedly stop the operation of the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 or cut off the path along which the high-frequency energy is delivered from the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 .
- the controller 120 may not only control various elements so that an appropriate surgical procedure may be performed based on information on a hand piece sensed by the sensing unit but may effectively prevent a malfunction that may occur when two different types of hand pieces are used, as well.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically illustrating an example where a contact-type hand piece is connected with a main body as shown in FIG. 1
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the shape of an end of the contact-type hand piece of FIG. 3
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example where skin is treated using the contact-type hand piece of FIG. 4 .
- the contact-type hand piece 300 has a first manipulating unit 330 that helps a user easily manipulate the operation of the contact-type hand piece 300 during a surgical procedure.
- An end of the contact-type hand piece 300 has a first electrode unit 320 that provides high-frequency energy to a skin surface.
- the first electrode unit 320 includes multiple electrode modules. Each electrode module includes at least one or more positive electrode and negative electrode. As illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the first electrode unit 320 includes a first electrode module 321 and a second electrode module 322 and a third electrode module 323 that are positioned at an external side of the first electrode module 321 . At this time, each electrode module may have an end shaped as a plane or a round that enables contact with the skin by a predetermined area.
- the first electrode module 321 includes a plate-shaped supporting plate, multiple positive electrodes 321 a and multiple negative electrodes 321 b that are arranged on the supporting plate.
- the second electrode module 322 and the third electrode module 323 are positioned at both sides so that their respective positive electrodes 322 a and 323 a are opposite their respective negative electrodes 322 b and 323 b with respect to the first electrode module 321 .
- the direction of arrangement of the positive and negative electrodes 322 a and 322 b of the second electrode module 322 may be perpendicular to the direction of arrangement of the positive and negative electrodes 322 a and 322 b of the third electrode module 323 .
- the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 of the main body 100 may include a first high-frequency wave generating module 111 , a second high-frequency wave generating module 112 , and a third high-frequency wave generating module 113 . Accordingly, the first to third high-frequency wave generating modules are electrically connected with the first to third electrode modules, respectively, to form their respective independent paths and provide high-frequency energy to their respective electrode modules.
- the high-frequency wave generating modules are configured to generate different frequencies of high-frequency energy from each other. Accordingly, if high-frequency energy is supplied from the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 with the first electrode unit 320 brought in contact with the skin surface, the high-frequency energy provided from the first high-frequency wave generating module 111 configures an independent circuit through the positive and negative electrodes of the first electrode module 321 , the high-frequency energy provided from the second high-frequency wave generating module 112 configures an independent circuit with the positive and negative electrodes of the second electrode module 322 , and the high-frequency energy provided from the third high-frequency wave generating module 113 configures an independent circuit with the positive and negative electrodes of the third electrode module 323 (refer to FIG. 5 ). Accordingly, the position of the skin where treatment is performed may be iteratively applied high-frequency energy from multiple electrode modules.
- the invasion depth of the high-frequency energy provided to the skin through each electrode module is determined depending on the distance between the positive and negative electrodes of the electrode module. Accordingly, the invasion depth of high-frequency energy provided from each electrode module may be diversified by making the distance between the positive and negative electrodes of the second electrode module different from the distance between the positive and negative electrodes of the third electrode module (refer to FIG. 5 )
- the controller 120 if an operation mode is set from the control panel 140 as described above, compares the set operation mode with hand piece information sensed by the sensing unit 130 . In the case illustrated in FIG. 3 , if the operation mode is determined to use the invasive hand piece 400 , the controller 120 may inform the occurrence of an error to a user through the display 150 or a separate alert sound. The controller 120 may restrict the operation of the high-frequency wave generating unit or may block the path where high-frequency energy is delivered from the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 . However, in case the operation mode is determined to use the contact-type hand piece 300 , the controller 120 controls various elements including the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 to be operated.
- the controller 120 may be configured to individually control each of the multiple high-frequency wave generating modules 111 , 112 , and 113 of the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 .
- the controller 120 controls the output of high-frequency energy that is generated from each high-frequency wave generating module and may control the amount of high-frequency energy provided, depending on the skin invasion depth. Accordingly, more various procedures may be fulfilled under the control of the controller 120 .
- the contact-type hand piece 300 may include a first sensor 340 that senses the state of contact between the first electrode unit 320 and the skin.
- the first sensor 340 may be configured as a pressure sensor or impedance sensor that is provided at an end of the contact-type hand piece 300 .
- the contact state information sensed by the first sensor 340 may be transferred to the controller 120 .
- the controller 120 if determining that the skin contact state of the first electrode unit 320 to the skin is poor from the first sensor 340 , generates a contact poor signal to conduct control so that it can be delivered to a user through the display 150 or a separate alert sound.
- the contact-type hand piece according to this electrode module includes three electrode modules that respectively provide different frequencies of high-frequency energy, but this is merely an example.
- the present invention is not limited to a specific number of electrode modules.
- the contact-type hand piece may be configured to provide one piece of high-frequency energy.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 the operation of a treating device with an invasive hand piece according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 .
- FIG. 6 is a block diagram schematically illustrating an example where the invasive hand piece is coupled with the main body of FIG. 1
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the internal structure of the invasive hand piece of FIG. 6 .
- the invasive hand piece 400 includes a second manipulating unit 430 that enables a user to easily manipulate the operation of the hand piece during a surgical procedure.
- An end of the invasive hand piece 400 includes a second electrode unit 420 to provide high-frequency energy to a portion under the skin.
- the second electrode unit 420 includes multiple needles 421 with sharp ends at the plate 422 .
- the needles are inserted through the skin into an internal side during a surgical procedure.
- the end of the needle may be configured to have a thickness of 100 um or less so as to minimize a patient's pain while enabling the needle to easily penetrate into the skin.
- the outside surface of the needle 421 may be formed of an insulating material except for its end so that high-frequency energy may be provided to the skin through the end.
- the second electrode unit 420 is provided to be movable by receiving a driving force from the driving unit 450 . Accordingly, if the driving unit 450 is driven by manipulating the second manipulating unit 430 with the second electrode unit 420 brought in contact with the skin, the multiple needles are moved and inserted into a portion under the skin.
- a separate tilting unit is provided to enable the multiple needles to sequentially penetrate into the skin, inclined at a predetermined angle ⁇ .
- the tilting unit includes elastomers 460 a and 460 b arranged at a rear surface of the plate where the multiple needles are disposed.
- the elastomers 460 a and 460 b are configured so that the elastic modulus at, at least, one position of the rear surface of the plate 422 of the second electrode unit 420 is different from the elastic modulus at an adjacent position. Accordingly, if the driving unit 450 is driven with the second electrode unit 420 brought in contact with the skin, the needle that is located at the position where the elastic modulus of the elastomers 460 a and 460 b is large first penetrates into the skin surface, and the other needles sequentially start penetration.
- the tilting unit according to this electrode module uses multiple elastomers 460 and may be configured so that each elastomer 460 has a different elastic modulus from the others.
- the tilting unit may be configured to have a single elastomer that has different elastic moduli from each other at different positions.

- the second electrode unit 420 having a plate where multiple needles are formed may be detachably provided at an end of the invasive hand piece 400 . Accordingly, among the multiple modules having different numbers or patterns of arrangement of the needles depending on the position or purpose of a surgical procedure, an appropriate one may be selected to configure the second electrode unit 420 , thereby enabling various surgical procedures.
- the invasive hand piece 400 may have a second sensor 440 that may sense the type of the second electrode unit 420 . Whenever the second electrode unit 420 is exchanged or surgical procedures are conducted, information on the second electrode unit 420 , sensed by the second sensor 440 , may be transmitted to the controller.
- the controller 120 if an operation mode is set by the control panel 140 as described above, compares hand piece information sensed by the sensing unit 130 with the operation mode. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6 , if the operation mode is determined to use the contact-type hand piece 300 , the controller 120 may deliver the occurrence of an error to a user through the display 150 or a separate alert sound. The controller 120 may limit the operation of the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 or block the path along which high-frequency energy is delivered from the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 .
- the controller 120 may control a driving force not to be provided from the driving unit 450 to the second electrode unit 420 by limiting the driving of the driving unit 450 of the invasive hand piece 400 or cutting off the path where a driving force is transferred from the driving unit 450 to the second electrode unit.
- the controller 120 controls various elements including the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 to operate.
- the controller 120 may perform control so that a single high-frequency wave generating module alone is driven to generate high-frequency energy while the remaining high-frequency wave generating modules are limited in use or the path along which high-frequency energy is delivered therefrom is cut off.

- the controller 120 may control the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 in different modes based on the information on the second electrode unit sensed by the second sensor. For example, the controller 120 , in case the second electrode unit 420 is coupled having needles spaced apart at a wide distance, may control the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 to generate a high output of energy. The controller 120 , in case the second electrode unit 420 is coupled whose needles are arranged at a narrow distance, may control the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 to generate a low output of energy.
- the controller 120 compares the set operation mode with the information on the second electrode unit 420 , and if the structure of the second electrode unit 420 currently provided is determined not to correspond to the set operation mode, the controller 120 performs control so that an error signal is generated to instruct a user to replace the second electrode unit 420 .
- the treating device is configured to interchangeably use the contact-type hand piece 300 and the invasive hand piece 400 .

- Step S 20 is performed by the sensing unit 130 , and information on the type of the hand piece sensed is provided to the controller 120 (S 30 ).
- the controller 120 if the sensed hand piece is determined to be the invasive hand piece 400 , generates an error signal and notifies the user through the display 150 or a separate alert signal (S 31 ). Further, the controller 120 may put a limit to high-frequency energy being provided to the coupled invasive hand piece so that the invasive hand piece 400 initiates its operation (S 32 ). This may be achieved in various manners, such as, by limiting the operation of the high-frequency wave generating unit 110 , blocking the path along which high-frequency energy is delivered, or restricting the operation of the driving unit 450 of the invasive hand piece 400 .
- the controller controls various elements so that an operation for a surgical procedure may be normally conducted (S 40 ).
- the first sensor 340 provided in the contact-type hand piece 300 grasps whether the surgical procedure runs normally by sensing the contact state between the first electrode unit 320 and the skin (S 50 ). At this time, if the contact state between the first electrode unit 320 and the skin is determined by the first sensor 340 to be not good, the controller 120 generates a contact-poor signal to let a user know (S 51 ). Such operation of the first sensor 340 may be periodically or continuously performed while the surgical procedure is on the go.
- the controller may terminate the operation of various elements (S 60 ).

- the sensing unit 130 senses the type of the hand piece coupled with the coupling unit 160 (S 120 ) and transmits the sensed information to the controller 120 (S 130 ). If determining that the contact-type hand piece 300 not corresponding to the second operation mode is coupled with the coupling unit 160 , the controller 120 generates an error signal to inform the user (S 131 ). Further, the controller 120 may limit high-frequency energy being provided to the contact-type hand piece 300 (S 132 ).
- the controller 120 controls various elements so that the operation for a surgical procedure can proceed normally (S 160 ).
- the invasive hand piece 400 may be configured so that the second electrode unit 420 is exchangeably provided and thus one may be picked up for use among various second electrode unit modules configured to have a diversity of forms depending to the surgical procedure.
- An end of the invasive hand piece 400 has a second sensor 440 that may sense the type of the second electrode unit 420 .
- the invasive hand piece 400 may sense the type of the second electrode unit 420 , and the controller 120 may determine whether the type of the second electrode unit sensed by the second sensor 440 corresponds to the second operation mode (S 150 ).
- the controller 120 if determining that the second electrode unit 420 currently provided does not correspond to the second operation mode, may generate an exchange signal and notify this to the user (S 151 ). In contrast, when determining that the second electrode corresponds to the second operation mode, the controller 120 may perform control so that a normal operation for the surgical procedure is initiated.
- the controller 120 determines whether the set second operation mode reaches its operation end time, and if so, may terminate the operation of various elements (S 170 ).
