The present invention discloses an therapeutic ultrasonic device consisting of at least one arc ultrasonic transducer that can be assembled. The arc ultrasonic transducer comprises a protruding part, a concave part and a plurality of piezoelectric vibrating parts. The protruding part and the concave part are disposed at two ends of the arc ultrasonic transducer respectively, and the piezoelectric vibrating parts are disposed at the inner arc face of the arc ultrasonic transducer. Various numbers of arc ultrasonic transducers can be used in assembled structure or non-assembled structure according to different body size and focal zones of various target tissue. Thus the therapeutic ultrasonic device of the present invention is widely used in treatment of various indications.

Therapeutic ultrasonic device and the use thereof

A wearable ultrasonic therapeutic device controlled by a mobile electronic device is provided, which includes a mobile device, at least one ultrasonic probe module and a strap. The mobile device has a mobile device control interface for setting ultrasonic parameters and displaying an echo wave through a specific software interface of the mobile device. The ultrasonic probe module includes at least one ultrasonic transducer and a control circuit corresponding thereto. The ultrasonic transducer generates and receives an ultrasonic wave. The control circuit has the functions of generating/receiving signals, phase regulation, power amplification and matching. One end of the ultrasonic probe module is electrically connected to the mobile device and the other end of the ultrasonic probe module is connected to the strap.

The present disclosure is to destroy adipose tissue non-invasively by using focused ultrasound (FUS) and to increase the treatment efficiency by the synergy of the novel FUS and electrical stimulation. Lipid can be released from the destroyed adipocytes and stay in the interstitial fluid of undestroyed adipocytes. In the meanwhile or after the treatment of FUS, a passive exercise of muscle in thighs or other parts is performed by electrical stimulation to consume energy. Therefore, metabolism of the free lipid can be enhanced by supplying energy to the muscles. The ultrasound treatment of the present disclosure is able to increase the treatment area, and while in combination with electrical stimulation, it can efficiently remove lipids in the circulation.

Method and system for destroying adipose tissue non-invasively and accelerating lipid metabolism

A transducer for use with a high intensity focused ultrasound medical system has transducer elements that are made from a piezocomposite material bonded together in turn with an adhesive. The elements are deployed along a surface of a geometric structure with two curvatures. The structure is a truncated curved cylinder. The transducer also includes electrodes, each of which is arranged on a corresponding one of the transducer elements for exciting the transducer elements to emit ultrasonic waves in response to electrical signals applied to the electrodes to steer the waves to form a common focus zone in a desired heating area.
