Patent number: 8235919Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for generating ultrasonic energy from a non-contact distance from the surface of the wound; and delivering the generated ultrasonic energy to the wound through a gaseous medium. The generated ultrasonic energy has a significantly large amplitude such that the ultrasonic energy has an intensity capable of penetrating the wound tissue to a beneficial depth to provide a therapeutic effect for decreasing the healing time for the wound.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2003Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Celleration, Inc.Inventor: Eilaz Babaev

Patent number: 7785277Abstract: A removable applicator nozzle for use in treating a wound is provided. The removable applicator nozzle includes a nozzle, a valve and a cup. The nozzle includes a proximal portion, a distal opening and a valve interface. The proximal portion of the nozzle is engagable with a portion of a transducer of an ultrasound wound therapy device. The distal opening of the nozzle allows at least a portion of a tip of the transducer to pass therethrough. The valve is engagable with the valve interface of the nozzle and the valve selectively allows fluid to flow therethrough. The cup includes an aperture and a puncturing device. The aperture is engagable with the valve and the puncturing device is able to puncture a bottle that is inserted on the cup. Fluid flows from the bottle, through the aperture and the valve and onto a tip of the transducer. The fluid is then moved to the distal opening of the nozzle by a vacuum effect.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Celleration, Inc.Inventors: Eilaz Babaev, Alan Van Houten, Michael T. Peterson, Greg Doten

Publication number: 20090024076Abstract: A nozzle for ultrasound wound treatment comprising a main body with proximal and distal ends, a reservoir and valve. The proximal end of the nozzle being removably attached to an ultrasound transducer. The distal end of the nozzle being marginally close and coaxial to the free distal end of the ultrasound transducer. The body of the nozzle connected with liquid reservoir, which holds the wound treatment solution and delivers same to the free end of ultrasound tip directly or through a tube. The nozzle is provided with valve for controlling flow rate of wound treatment solution. The nozzle can mix different liquids or a liquid with a gas and deliver same to the wound surface. The nozzle can also be provided with trigger system for one hand use. The present invention is a device, using ultrasonic waves to create, direct and deliver liquid treatment spray to a wound surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2008Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: Celleration, Inc.Inventor: Eilaz Babaev

Publication number: 20080306501Abstract: An end-effector configured and dimensioned for being connected to an ultrasound surgical device is provided. The end-effector includes means for receiving ultrasound waves generated and propagated by the ultrasound surgical device, and means for debriding tissue on a wound surface. The means for debriding tissue includes at least one non-smooth surface; and means for propagating the received ultrasound waves to the at least one non-smooth surface for vibrating the at least one non-smooth surface, wherein the at least one non-smooth vibrating surface is configured to contact and debride tissue on the wound surface. A method is further provided for debriding wound tissue including the steps of providing ultrasound waves to a non-smooth surface configured for debriding, propagating the ultrasound waves to cause vibration of the non-smooth surface, and contacting the vibrating surface configured for debriding with the wound tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2008Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: Celleration, Inc.Inventor: Eilaz Babaev
