A method of treating human or animal tissue, the method comprising the step of: i. directing a stream of an aqueous liquid comprising gas bubbles excited by acoustic energy towards a wound or anatomical pocket in human or animal tissue, or towards an anatomical space or potential space in human or animal tissue, or towards soft or hard tissue in an oral cavity or elsewhere in the human or animal body, or towards tissue in a nasal cavity, or towards tissue associated with sinuses, eye, ear, digestive and genito-urinary systems, thereby to treat the human or animal tissue with the stream. The output stream can clean a wound in human or animal tissue, and can treat the wound by healing the wound, for example by stimulating fibroblasts in the wound tissue and causing, promoting or enhancing re-epithelialisation of epidermal tissue in the wound.

An apparatus and method for prevention and treatment of marine biofouling on a surface to be treated by the apparatus includes a body defining a cavity, the body terminating in a distal open end that is adapted, in use, to be in the vicinity of a surface to be treated such that the surface forms a first end wall of a chamber within the cavity; an acoustic transducer mounted within the cavity to form an opposite second end wall of the chamber, the acoustic transducer being adapted to cause acoustic pressure fluctuations; and a reservoir for a liquid, the reservoir including an inlet passage and a plurality of mutually spaced outlet passages for liquid flow from the reservoir into the chamber, the outlet passages at least partially surrounding the chamber in the vicinity of the distal open end.
