Abstract
Apparatus and method for the treatment of tissue, such as hard and soft tissues, wounds, bones, tumors, muscles, and cartilage, through the direct contact of ultrasound energy is disclosed. Ultrasound energy is delivered to a target area through direct contact with an ultrasound tip. Ultrasound energy is also delivered through direct contact with a coupling medium. The ultrasound tip is specially designed to comprise of a cavity area for controlled fragmentation and the simultaneous sonication of a target area. The specially designed ultrasound tip allows greater manipulation of the device in treating tissue. The ultrasound apparatus may be moved in a variety of directions during the treatment of tissue.
