Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention relate to an applicator for applying ultrasound energy to a tissue volume, comprising: an array comprising a plurality of ultrasound transducers, the transducers arranged side by side, the transducers configured to emit unfocused ultrasound energy suitable to thermally damage at least a portion of the tissue volume, each of the transducers comprising a coating thin enough so as not to substantially affect heat transfer via the coating to the tissue; and a cooling module configured to apply cooling via the transducers to prevent overheating of a surface of the tissue volume being contacted by the transducers.

Abstract: A method of preparing an electroconductive foam, and the foam so prepared. An electroconductive polymer such as polyaniline is dispersed in a liquid medium that includes an aromatic solvent such as xylene and an organic dopant/dispersant such as an aromatic sulfonic acid. The electroconductive polymer together with the organic dopant/dispersant constitute between 10% and 25% of the resulting dispersion. The dispersion is introduced to the pores of an electrically insulating foam matrix such as polyurethane. Excess dispersion is expelled and the foam is dried actively, to line the pores with an electroconductive lining.
