Abstract
Various embodiments are described herein for a device for using acoustic or mechanical energy to perform an action at a target site of an object. The device comprises a conduit having an aperture disposed at the target site, a displacement signal source for generating a mechanical displacement signal, a coupling assembly having for coupling the displacement signal source to the conduit, a pressure controller coupled to the proximal end of the conduit to vary an amount of pressure in the conduit when obtaining a first entity from or delivering a second entity to the target site, and a control unit for controlling the displacement signal source to generate the mechanical displacement signal based on a desired acoustic or mechanical wave mode.
