A sonotrode includes a stem extending along a longitudinal axis and a cap configured to carry out an ablative process on tissue using mechanical oscillation. The cap has at least one portion that protrudes further in a radial direction than the stem, and the at least one portion has at least one sharp rim. A surface of the cap, which is arranged between a distal end of the stem and the sharp rim of the portion, is a concave surface and/or runs at an opening angle with respect to the stem that is equal or smaller than 90 degrees. A center of mass of the cap is on the longitudinal axis.

Device and method for treating tissue

A sonotrode suitable for use with an ultrasonic surgical instrument for cutting or punching bones, as well as a method for manufacturing the sonotrode.

Device and method for punching bone

A method for cell stimulation by mechanical energy as well as a method for determining a subject specific set of treatment parameters for acoustic wave stimulation and a method for validating a set of treatment parameters for acoustic wave stimulation. The method for determining a subject specific set of treatment parameters includes generating subject specific data, which includes measuring a geometric property of a body portion, and determining a target field distribution in the body portion. The method for validating a set of treatment parameters for acoustic wave stimulation includes determining a target field distribution of an acoustic field in a body portion, receiving a related set of treatment parameters for at least one transducer, generating a subject specific 3D model of the body portion, and determining a difference between the target field distribution and a field distribution determined in the subject specific 3D model.
